This is the song I'd like to be played at my funeral some day, but until today I had no idea which version it should be. I am still simply blown away. Pure perfection not in spite of, but because of every imperfection.
I am blown AWAY!!!! i am smiling still from hearing this song sung and played by you! your a talent for sure. i am thoroughly impressed! inspiring me to practice this song until i get it just perfect as you have already done so.
This is seriously great. Much better than the original. It leaves all of the bits of goodness of the original, but adds room for serious breathing. If I made a film, this would be on the soundtrack.
Amazing version. love the blue grassy-ness of it.. Now if you dont mind me asking.. what keyand tuning did you use.. and what chords are they you are using AMAZING!!
I'm playing the chords in the key of C but the uke is tuned to Bb tuning. You'll have to work out the chords yourself - i just play what I feel like playing at the time.
Man... it is not only your great arrangements of these great, great songs for the ukulele, it is also your voice interpreting them so that you and your uke are taking them to a whole new level. Great... just as your "Brothers in arms" version. Thank you for the great music!
I just have to post this cuz I am amazed, this may be the only page on the history of youtube pages with no negative comments, that takes talent lol, just pointing it out, mark it as spam if you want.
Ken: You are made of awesome. Can you please clone yourself and send the original you to my house and live with me happy and forever after? Naturally, you will be required to serenade me.
The Rim - Love it!
I'm still looking for a song to cover on the uke that hasn't already been done.

I like this arrangement better than the original, it makes the words feel more powerful to me. Very pretty! I'm jealous of your ability to sing. :)
