Ukulele rocking at TED party

[wishes1973]

By " impromptu concert " you mean he just happens to walk around with amp, mics and all the rest?

Jake is a legend in the ukulele world, also worth checking out is james Hill

[josephcecil]

no, TED needs to broadcast the videos LIVE.. but they prefer to CURATE them, which is a twisted term, meaning they dribble the videos out YEARS late, when they are out of date and stale. oh maybe 30% of the videos are timeless but they only release OLD videos.. very sad. TED organizers need to WAKE UP. get this knowledge out FAST to the world.. don't be elitest, you all are not the only smart humans.. indeed you need to illuminate, share your light.. dont hide it.. that's wisdom.

[thetylerhayes]

Thanks for posting this Robert. Pure awesome. You're right, more people do need to get to TED, and someday I hope to be one of them.

[upcycle]

I am wondering why the even isn't just offered as a free live video feed. Hell, they could subsidize the cost of that too with those promos, just like they do with the "Free" TEDtalks... BMW Microsoft or whatever, like they already do.

[ilov3lala]

awesome.

he face looks like "cum" face. uargghhh.
