IF

[HuggzFaerie]

Thank you Eric. I am so moved by your rendition of IF. Kipling was one of my favourite poets. You do Kipling's poem justice.

[Ukuleleric]

@HuggzFaerie, hi Huggs, how kind, thank you. Be lucky, Eric.

[emperortomatoe]

I want you to give some rap lyrics the same treatment! May I suggest C.R.E.A.M by the Wu-Tang Clan?

[Ukuleleric]

@emperortomatoe, hi, lol, well, it's a very good idea, what a hoot. I'll definitely look into that. Take care, Eric.

[Kittielips]

There's nowt worse than a 'doubting Thomas,' is there? I can be Hardyer!

Thank you.

Jennie.

[oloitube]

I wish I could hear this without the background music.

A very regal recitation, this youtube puts the Great in Great Britain!

[truthsabre7]

You certainly hava a talent.  Thank you.

[Ukuleleric]

Hi truthsabre, cheers mate, Eric.

[dirtyfleabag]

The music is cheesier than a wino's helmet...i dont think Elgar wrote it for synthesizer,Eric!But as for your rendition of the words...that's even worse.You are old enough to know better and you should thank me for letting you know.God bless you.

[schoffen]

Music is pretty cheesey imho but i LOVeeee your reading well done!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi schoffen, thanks for your kind comment re my rendition. I don't know if you meant the idea of the musical accompaniment was cheesy or whether the music itself was cheesy. If the former, sorry. If the latter, well, 'Land of Hope and Glory' cheesy? Poor old Elgar. It's all a bit of fun anyway. God Bless, Eric.

[ladza]

great act!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Ladza, thanks for comment, much appreciated, Eric.
