Just had to comment. Heard you play on tv last night and just loved every second of it. I have become a big fan. Ur great! Wouldn't mind hearing more :) ...
Songs like this make me wonder how he can play it all the way through without his ukulele just spontaneously combusting (or at the very least, breaking a string). Just freakin' amazing.
I am telling you people, if he did Bobby Fuller (I Fought the Law) or Marty Robbins (El Paso), he would rip music apart, and create a hole in space/time.
@revdrjim what do you mean a real instrument? What's makes an instrument real? Ukulele is as real as it can get, although the sounds made by Jake may seem unreal.
@revdrjim Dude, you're wrong. since he's practically reinventing an unpopular, and very real, instrument he's going to get more credit. If he played guitar he would be like any other cliche musician. this sets him apart and allows him to be known as a leader or even a god of his instrument.
Uhh. What just happened? Blew my mind is blown!

I love the way Jake expanded his own creation "Let's Dance." It's more intricate and richer than his original recording.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
@battosai1111 - he'd prolly be better known if he learned how to play the guitar or some other real instrument though

@revdrjim you seem to not know what the term instrument means let me enlighten you...
Instrument- a contrivance or apparatus for producing musical sounds: a stringed instrument.
I think the ukulele counts...
