Reel nice, Derek! Crisp picking!

Cheers John!

Beautifully done Derek. That plucking stype requires allot of patience and stamina. Congratulations! BTW...if it's not Galway Bay; it looks like Cape Cod to me. Ed

Thanks Ed!

The picture is actually taken out front of my father's house, looking across Brisbane Water near Gosford, NSW, Australia.

I don't know how to describe the genre of this song, but I really love to hear you play this kind of song on a SCOTT WISE.

[phillipsderek]

Thanks Terry!

I'm playing Ken Middleton's arrangement of an Irish tune.

My Scott Wise concert was the perfect choice for this one.

[LaubeTV]

It sounds as the picture promises... Could be in Ireland as well as anywhere else you might find a romantic and peaceful spot...

If it was a little longer I would like to use it for my Yoga training... Bravo!

Cheers Alex!

It's a lovely melody and Ken's arrangement makes it easy to play.

Beautiful playing Derek! I was lucky enough to try a Scott Wise ukulele at the Melbourne Uke Festival. They're lovely instruments, aren't they?

[phillipsderek]

Thanks Michelle.

Scott Wise makes incredible instruments.

[uke5417]

Lovely. Your ukulele sounds far better than my concertina. (I have an old lachanal around here somewhere, but I've never mastered it.)

[phillipsderek]

It's has a wonderful sound this uke.

I really like the sound of a concertina, you should drag it out and do something with it Bruce.

[kennymelodica]

wow this is just wonderful!! :)

[phillipsderek]

Thanks Ken.

[deach69]

Excellent playing!

[phillipsderek]

Cheers Deach!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Really superb, clear playing Derek. I had forgotten all about this one.

[phillipsderek]

Thanks Ken.

I'm a big fan of your arrangements for fingerstyle uke (as well as your playing) so I keep revisiting your tabs for new material to work on.

[russbuss415]

nicely done!

[LStrachey]

You're got a lovely flowing rhythm going there -- I can't do this sort of thing, my little mind can't comprehend it all.

[phillipsderek]

I'm sure you could play this with your eyes closed Michael.

Ken has a real gift for arranging a song so that it is easy to play, but still brings out the melody nicely.

[DearOldNutjob]

Hope you don't mind if I tie up at your dock. Couldn't resist the music.

[phillipsderek]

Cheers Don!

You can drop anchor here any time you like.

(although it's actually out front of my father's house, I'm sure he wouldn't mind)

[phillipsderek]

Thanks Russ!
