[eric11600]

Truly amazing!

[fourteentwelve]

@eric11600 Thank you!

[mugambismonkey]

Michelle, this is really wonderful! I had watched your video some time before but dare to comment just now. You play and sing it in such an intimate way that at first I was too scared to comment & at a loss for words!! Listening to your rendition again still gives me goose pimples. First time that this happens! Your perfomance must have striked a special chord within me... *smile* :-) It is truly awesome beyond compare! :-) 5/5

[fourteentwelve]

Wow Dirk! Thank you so much for such a lovely comment. I wasn't really sure about this song when I put it up - I wasn't too happy with my singing. Getting a comment like yours though makes me glad I put it up! Thank you so much!

[philxbx]

Beautiful version!!

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much! Thank you for watching.

[CoffeeMate11]

I have a big goofy grin on my face cause of your wonderfulness!

[fourteentwelve]

You're so sweet! I've got a big goofy grin on my face now from your comment! Thank you!

[TerryUkes]

Michelle, what a view count! :)

You deserve it!

I feel your smooth finger picking with confidence.

PS. Sorry I'm late. YT still does not let me know new vids.

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you so much Terry! The view count was because it was featured on Ukulele Underground. They sure get a lot of visitors to the site! I hope you're having a great week. I finally watched Hula Girls!!

[paolitas7]

hey i like this song guod tune, please come to see my videos on guitar greeting from Guatemala

[fourteentwelve]

You have some lovely videos! Thank you for your comment on mine.

[4DJB25]

Oooh... you made this song sound so ... innocent. I think it's the approach you took to it. So, yeah. I think I'm gonna go out for ice cream floats with two straws.

[fourteentwelve]

Ice cream floats! LOL I don't know if innocent is a good thing or a bad thing with this song. Hmmm.... I think it may have been because my singing voice is fairly weak.

[doogey9]

Thank you very much Brad! I'm glad you liked it.

[UkuleleInMyCar]

Great job Michelle. Always excited to see a Mayer cover on uke, especially when it's good! Aldy's live lessons are awesome. So is your Koaloha... the tone is sooo nice.

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you John! Yes, Aldrine's lessons are great! I've learned pretty much everything I know about the ukulele from his lessons. He's awesome! And yes, I love my Koaloha. It's such a beautiful instrument. A real UAS cure! lol

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Lovely singing, Michelle.

[fourteentwelve]

[fourteentwelve]

Wow Caroline! I'm so glad to hear that you liked it that much. It really is a beautiful song, isn't it? Thank you so much for sharing that with me.

[mjs004]

Love your rendition. Great singing and playing! The picking you are doing really highlights the melody in the song!

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you Michael. I've got Aldrine to thank for the picking. He taught it in a Ukulele Underground lesson. I'm really glad you liked it. Thanks!

[VooDooU22X]

well done honey .. nice n happy :)

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it!

[monsterbazz]

[^_^] obviously, you cannot see me dancing on my chair in the sicilian evening sun with a smile on my face enjoying your beautiful and lovely interpretation, but that's exactly what i'm doing because i'm enjoying it that much! thanks michelle. i love being subscribed to your channel!

[fourteentwelve]

That made me smile Sebi because I can picture you doing that right now! You're so sweet. Thank you for always writing such lovely comments. I love that you're subscribed to my channel too! Your comments mean a lot to me.

[uke5417]

I like the vocals in this, and I'm especially intrigued by the picking. (I never think to do much other than strum songs.) The softer nature of the picking fits very well with your voice here. Thanks, Michelle.

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you Bruce. I like picking.  I have a fairly soft voice, so any loud strumming would definitely overpower my singing. I learnt this particular picking pattern from one of Aldrine's lessons on Ukulele Underground.

[boozelele]

Michelle that was terrific. And I absolutely LOVE that uke. great singing and playing!!!!!

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you so much Kevin! I love this uke too. I can honestly say it is the most beautiful instrument I have ever played (and I was in Hawaii last year, so tried out a lot).

[Jualtair]

Very good performance, my friend ( and fantastic uke sound ) ! ^_^

Ju

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much Ju!

[josephhoh]

Just heard John Mayer's. I prefer your WAY more. It's much more intimate and expressive due to the direct voicing. I am a sucker for the simple beautiful anyway. Lovely.

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you so much! I was busy replying to your other comment so didn't see this until I posted it. That's very kind of you! I prefer simple too... one of the things I like so much about the ukulele.

[josephhoh]

Oo, thank you for introducing me to the song. It's very evocative. Your interpretation has a special charm of it's own. I can't wait to try it out. Where on UU would I find the archive of this lesson?

Thanks for sharing all these wonderful songs. I enjoy your choices of songs very much!

[fourteentwelve]

Hi Joseph, thank you for such a lovely comment. I'm glad you enjoy my choices - I'm slowly getting through all my favourites.

YouTube won't let me post a web address in a comment, so I've added the direct address for the archives on Ukulele Underground to the bottom of my video description. I hope that helps!

[keonepax]

Wow, your voice is so sweet and almost child-like!  Love it!

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you so much John! I wasn't too happy with the vocals, so your comment has made me feel a lot better about them. I'm glad you liked it!

[hoosierhiver]

Lovely

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much!

[DonfromMT]

WHOO-HOO, Michelle! I'm fond of this song, too, and I liked the very personal performance you made of it.

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much Don! I'm glad you liked it. It's a great song, isn't it? It's a fun one to play too.

[UKISOCIETY]

Lovely! Great job, Michelle!

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much Alan!

[phillipsderek]

Well done Michelle! First time I've heard this song, sounded great.

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you Derek! It was from John Mayer's first album, Room for Squares. Around 2001 I think....

[BaronK69]

Sweet version Michelle! Love your singing and picking in this one.

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much Baron! I'm glad you liked it. I wasn't too happy with my singing in this one, but I do love the song, and the picking was fun to do.

[eerteep]

most awesome job on this one!
