[BaronK69]

@batum44 I don't really remember or know the names for them but I know there is a C, a D7, a dim chord (0101) and a chromatic run - G-F#-F. Hope that helps you. I might do a lesson of it if I can find the time...

[Johnakalazyj]

Quality - was looking for a Ukulele version of this song... so glad I found one!!!!

Is that actually a Ukulele or a real guitar?? You look so STACKED i was unsure!! :)

[BaronK69]

@Johnakalazyj Thank you. It's a soprano ukulele. What do you mean with "stacked"?

[IrishDandy]

can you give me your tab for this song.

sounds amazin'

[BaronK69]

@IrishDandy Thanks man! Well, I dont really do tabs - I think I just googled the chords and transcribed them to a key that fit my voice.

[dickTed]

Bravo champ.

[BaronK69]

@dickTed Thanks man!

[luvzmocha]

Great stuff Baron... took me two weeks to get it. Thanks for helping a noob!

[idrnoel]

I'm just glad your vid came up when I searched for a uke cover of this song. Your voice is such a good match with this song. Thoroughly enjoyed it mate!

[BaronK69]

@idrnoel Thanks Dylan, glad you liked it. It's a great song.

[judecdy]

Cool dude, where do you find the chords (notes) for all these fabulous songs??

[BaronK69]

@judecdy Thanks! A lot of the songs I've been playing on guitar for years, others I just google the chords and then transpose to my singing key and adopt for uke. I never aim to be true to the original, but rather do a version that works for me.

[ukulelepe]

DZJEE, great as always!!!

[BaronK69]

@ukulelepe Thank you!

Hello Baron

This really great!

It gives me that smile, I'm searching for the whole day.

Carlo

[BaronK69]

Thanks Carlo, glad I could help you with that.

[LStrachey]

great old tune, done to a T ... but sounds a bit like 'Everyone wants to be a cat' (or is it just the style?)

[BaronK69]

Ha ha, I guess it's me, messing up perfectly good songs.

[LStrachey]

I meant 'Style', which you have in spades.

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

The Bessie Smith version makes me happy - now this one does too... So bloody good my friend.

Now go paint.

[BaronK69]

Thanks Grumpy! And I'm happy you liked it. Now if you excuse me, I gotta go go paint.

[jmmquah]

Stop foolling around with ukes...you've got work to do!

...what I mean is...fantastic rendition - got great tone during those twiddly bits!

[BaronK69]

Thanks James! This ukes is great for twiddling.

[Sheepstar15]

Great take on this.  Fantastic 5***** :)

[BaronK69]

Thank you!

[plinthman]

This has always been one of my favourite blues songs, and probably the best song Bessie Smith ever recorded. Nice one!

[BaronK69]

Thanks man!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Gravelly singing, R. And I liked the twiddly bits too.

[BaronK69]

Thanks Ken! Glad you enjoyed it - I sure enjoy the Ohana.

[UnluckyMum]

Great performance - love all the twiddly bits in the middle :)

[shas1814]

Why does this make me smile so much?

Too cool, Baron.

If I heard this without video

I could never, never guess it was being performed

by a young Swedish skinhead!!

5, count 'em, 5 stars :=)

Shas

[BaronK69]

Ha ha! Thanks, Shas! I only look like a Swedish skinhead. Inside I'm a 80 year old blues man from the delta.

[Zwoko]

Awesome Robin, one of your best covers!

[BaronK69]

Thanks man! Glad you like it.

[lisaxy424]

For some reason, this song makes me want to paint a cabin!? ;) Great cover - can't ever get enough of the Baron!

[BaronK69]

Thanks Lisa! Yeah, painting is very sensual business...

[DonfromMT]

Pretty amazing! Certainly better than a coffee break.

[BaronK69]

Thanks Don!

[mctrmt]

Excellent! Now get back to work!

[BaronK69]

Thanks Mary-Anne! Work? In Sweden noone works in July...
