@JavidOnd Thought so. I was taught this tune very early on in my guitar playing journey by an old guy with bent and broken hands... almost twenty years later and I can't get it to sound even close to how authentically he played it. Thanks to YouTube I found others playing it too.
That's really something. I love the sound.
I guess I'll have to add a metal strung tenor taropatch to my project list.

This is really great! Thanks! I'm getting a ukulele soon. I love "Railroad Bill." What a classic song! Maybe someday I'll write my own uke cover!

I generally hate ukeleles, however this sounds more like a mandolin, with a bit more sustain, so its good.
exelent playing and singing aswell.

Hey Aaron, nice, makes me think a little of freight train by elizabeth cotten. Is that the the uke you brought along to the ukefest in Vicenza?
Cheers!
