[KenMiddletonUkulele]

[Jimmy94spaces]

beautiful

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[samwisemcganji]

Love ukes and absolutely love Paris. Perfect combo! Wish I was there!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[DrewRod13]

haha i love to see GOOD covers of rock songs on the uke, and you have done so. I respect you Ken a great deal now

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[smckeec]

Great playin' rythm & pickin' and singin' in the breeze, and city traffic.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Nice spot to play though.

[drysdale1979]

what a great spot to sit down and play! Sterling video as ever!

I've thought about your advice and will wait until I can afford a nice bit of solid wood. I didn't cut corners when I bought my guitar and the uke deserves the same respect.

I've seen a nice solid top Ohana concert and a lovely totally solid Kala for similar money so i'll go and see Paul when i've saved some more cash.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Sensible decision.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

probably not, I'm afraid.

[keonepax]

Very nice! Love the setting! Too bad noise is often a problem with outdoor videos!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Yes, I didn't realise how bad it was when I recorded it.

[DJnine21]

Beautiful spot, beautiful song, beautiful uke, together on a beautiful day... you're a lucky man!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks DJ. I'm blessed.

[StubyStubyDoo]

Nice One Ken: Love that song

BTW - have you revealed yet how much you collected from the bye passers that day?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It was a quiet spot. Pickings were slim.

[mctrmt]

What a beautiful place to record a song!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I couldn't resist recording something, Mary-Anne.

[Luthval]

Hi Ken, nice one (I'm going to have an Uke soon ;-))

Val

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Can't wait to hear what you will record.

[Luthval]

I'll have to work a little bit before thinking of recording ;-)

(can't wait to have it...)

Val

[NothingDefamatory]

[shas1814]

Ken Middleton does Dylan on the Seine.

Epic!

Love it!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Hi Shas.

[lacefreak]

Thank you for sharing the music and the view. The sounds of being out doors was part of the charm :-)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. I like playing outdoors.

[jetmd1967]

Banks of the Seine in Paris.......Now that's a class act. Very Nice video. Thanks for taking the time to make this video it's so relaxing and your cover is awesome.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you very much.

[mjs004]

Ken, I love this rendition! And, the setting is so pretty!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. It was a beautiful place to record.

[phatuke]

better that the original!!! Very nice.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I'm not sure about that, but thanks.

[ChuckLee4200]

u know i hate g&g but i can listen to this way to make it yours man!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Caroline.

[casetone2514]

Excellenté. I love the uke - it makes a very sweet noise.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Yes it a nice one to play. It's not mine though.

[schuermurrman]

Just beautiful!!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[irvingjohn]

Excellent. One of my fav songs you do, in a beautiful setting. No need to apologize for a noise that we're all used too... I think we automatically tune it out and hear the awesome playing and singing.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It's strange. When you're walking along the river you don't actually notice the traffic noise.

[hoosierhiver]

Beautiful setting, looks like your having a good summer!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

An interesting Summer, HH.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Yes. Thanks very much.

[DonfromMT]

There is magic in a street performance. The world is your backing band. Love this, Ken!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Interesting comment. Thanks Don.

[josephhoh]

you looked relaxed and having a good time playing in a beautiful setting bathed in warm sun. What might one do in a similar aural situation with noisy cars? Would you use a pick up directly connected to a recorder? Less spontaneous of course...

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

All I had was my little snapshot camera. It seemed quiet 'cause I couldn't actually SEE the cars.

[scooterrev]

That song sounds so good on uke and you do it so well. I wonder if you ran the audio through a parametric eq, you might be able to notch a good bit of that noise out? Sounds like it's mostly in the upper frequencies.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I tried that Darrell. when I tried to cut out the car noise, it took most of the vocals and ukulele as well. So I left it alone.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I may try again though.

[okvolleyball]

wonderful performance.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Stephen. I know that you like hymns. Have you seen my latest video on my guitar channel?

[okvolleyball]

nope going to right now !

[fourteentwelve]

You know, when you're in a setting like that, it doesn't matter if the sound is perfect! It sounded great to me, and what a great way to share some of your trip with us! So lovely!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Michelle. I am very blessed to be able see such beautiful places.

[waterdog226]

Some folks might think you are already in heaven! Heavenly version. You are a good player to be able to make it sound so good under the conditions of noise and heat.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much WD. I appreciate the comment.

[deach69]

Such a beautiful setting and a wonderful performance.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you, Deach.
