[russbuss415]

smokin' vocals!

[ukeyermind]

aw, russ - you're being kind - but I won't object!

[reapefer]

Great performance ! I do love your voice ! And the Ukulele sounds really good (mainland right ?).

[ukeyermind]

Thanks, man - yep, that's the classic mahogany concert uke from Mainland.

[helveticaukes]

This was really great! Keep up the awesome vids!

I like the way you do your D chord... reminds me of my days playing balalaika as one frequently uses the thumb making chords.

[ukeyermind]

Thanks, Sam Love! Any balaika vids over at H.U.E.?

[helveticaukes]

Unfortunately, no. The balalaikas I played in college belonged to the music ensemble, so I had to leave them behind when I graduated. If I ever get a chance to borrow one and put up a vid, I'll let you know. But I am already more proficient at the uke than I ever was at the balalaika, so it probably wouldn't be any good!

[ken6675]

kick ass buddy, uke on

[ukeyermind]

thanks, ken. We'll all uke on together.

[deach69]

Wow, you play the D chord like LonnaB does.

Excellent job on the song. You rocked it!

[ukeyermind]

Thanks, Deach. Whenever I happen to do anything right, it's thanks to Lonna.

[MrPlatypus70]

Great song, also nice Halloween background not only a jack-o-lantern but a whole orange room!

[ukeyermind]

Thank you - and thanks for watching!
