Found your video by accident. Great and beautiful voice and you also. Have taken the liberty to make a video to my Facebook account to add. Keep it up I would say. Greetings from the Netherlands Holten

[Ukuleleric]

[JoshL117]

Hello, old friend, it's been a while since I've seen your videos, but for some odd reason, I couldn't stop thinking about this song all day at work. I set it in my head to search for it when I get home and, after some procrastination, boom here it is. I've always liked the octave up at 1:08. Keep 'em coming, Eric.

Take care,

-Josh

[Ukuleleric]

@JoshL117, hi Josh, how's it goin' mate. Thanks so much for posting, you take care now, Eric.

[dwcanady]

eric this is one of my favorite videos, man can u ever sing, best version of this song that ive heard

[Ukuleleric]

@dwcanady, hello, aw, thanks so much mate, very kind.  Take care, Eric.

[jaygatsby1]

very nice work. have you considered recording a version with just you and you (and the uke and guitar)? i think you definitely have the chops to do a great version that way. the karaoke-esque accompaniment here slightly detracts here rather than adds. all of it that's you is great. just my 2 cents.

[Ukuleleric]

@jaygatsby1, hello mate, yes, point taken. At the time I thought I thought I ought to add backing, if I did it now I probably wouldn't. Take care chum, Eric.

[crazyRyoga]

Brilliant!

[Ukuleleric]

@crazyRyoga, hi, thanks so much, best, Eric.

[zxcv4zxcv444]

Hi, could you please post up some chords. Thank you.

[Ukuleleric]

@MercuryKT, you can very easily find them on the internet, simply write the name of the song in the search box followed by the word chords.

[BrandonDavis95]

Wow!!! ive never heard this song before and now that i heard it from you too! This is ammazing!!! who ever is playing the Uke is amazing! i just got one myself and you totally inspire me to play it!!! you guys are awsome!!!!!!!!!

Hi saisengong, thank you so much. I enjoyed your song 'waiting for you' and you have a lovely voice. Take care, Eric.

[kzcarranza]

wonderful!

[Ukuleleric]

kzcarranza, hi Kat, thank you. All the best, Eric.

[mattiv1]

very different from Everly's, but i really like it. it's a bit country, but sounds nice. you should volume up the uk' and the guitar. cheers man! great!

[Ukuleleric]

mattiv1, hi Mateusz, thanks very much for posting. Take care, Eric.

[CAVERN1234]

fantastic brilliant cover 5*****

[Ukuleleric]

CAVERN1234, hiya Dave, aw, cheers mate. Good luck with your vids, best, Eric.

[watever122342q35]

Awesome job Eric. Very impressed with all your performances. Especially liked Old Bazaar. Very good showmanship showcased in that. Please post more covers/originals.

[Ukuleleric]

Yo watever122342q35, aw, thank you so very much, all the best, Eric.

[olle155]

Now i have been checking your videos tonight i can just say that all are very good ^_^ kinda inspired to try some ukulele and it would be cool if you could give me some tips to start with like fingerwork.

Going to use my fathers ukulele a hawaian Ukulele. Keep up the good work!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi olle155, thanks so much for posting and I'm flattered you should ask me for tips re playing the uke. Actually I don't consider myself to be either a good uke or guitar player, I strum well enough to sing to is how I'd put it. As far as the uke goes, I just hold down the chords and strum away. Don't think that's going to be much help, but that's all I can tell you. Take care, Eric.

[commandopants]

wow,inspired with your performance -what a great song,well done

[Ukuleleric]

Yo commandopants, we've got diamonds in the South of England? lol. Seriously though, thank you very much for your kind compliment. Checked your vids too, hey, you've got a great voice. Keep it up chum, best, Eric.

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Mart2877, thanks so much, best, Eric.

[zooreau]

Ukulele Eric, you're the man !

Nice cover !

I like your Ukulele !

From Belgium !

[Ukuleleric]

Yo zooreau, aw, thanks so much. Take care, Eric.

[decki84]

U Rock!!!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi decki84, cheers mate, best, Eric.

[rhinestonecowboi]

Hi Eric. Another really nice song! Is it confusing to change between ukelele and guitar for the same song because of the different fingerings?

[Ukuleleric]

Hi rhinestonecowboi, thanks so much. Yes, it can be a bit confusing sometimes, I might be playing away and suddenly can't remember which chord shape I'm supposed be doing. Doesn't happen very often though, fortunately. lol. All the best, Eric.

[netguider]

Hi Eric, thanks for visiting my videos. I recorded for both Mercury and Warner Bros when I was young. (And a few others but that was 40 years ago.) I'm just now starting to sing and write some songs again.

I also write novels, fiction under Asher Dan, and non-fiction under Randy Benjamin.

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your videos... You are a very talented man and I'm sure everyone out here on the Net is enjoying it! Keep them coming.

Thanks, Randy

[Ukuleleric]

netguider, Hi Randy, aw, bless you mate, take care now, best, Eric.

[netguider]

Great idea and very well done. I love the split screen. Got to try that. Of course, it takes a lot of talent to do what you did and pull it off so well. Excellent singing and playing. I really enjoyed it.... netguider

[Ukuleleric]

netguider, hi Asher, thanks so much. Checked out your vids too, you have a great voice. Like to know more about your history, mercury records etc. Maybe sometime? 'Do not go gentle into that dark night' All the best, Eric.

[DispreteFranz]

Your grandkids are fortunate to have a granddad so talented like you.! haha cheers.! =)

[Ukuleleric]

DispreteFranz, hi mate, lol, cheers, Eric.

[zaplol]

hahahaha, absolutely magnificent! what can one say other than.. awesomeness!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi zaplol, cheers mate, thank you, take care, merry Christmas, Eric.

[israel858]

[israel858]

Merry Christmas Eric

HIFA ISRAEL

[Ukuleleric]

Hi israel858, thank you and merry Christmas to you too. Shalom, Eric.

[militarychief]

I just can't get over these videos and I just stumbled onto them. You are one of the most talented people I've seen. Beautiful voice. Thank you again for sharing.

[Ukuleleric]

Hi militarychief, you are too, too kind, thank you so much. It wasn't until I'd done this one that I realised I'd got the perspective wrong. The camera was a bit off centre, consequently, the uke me looks slightly smaller. Undernourished I guess. Take care, Eric.

[strawberrywine44]

wow..you guys are beautiful,cute too.

[Ukuleleric]

strawberrywine44, hey Marlene, thanks so much for your flattering comment. Incidentally, it's guy, there's only me. I video myself twice and then join the two together. All the best, Eric.

[strawberrywine44]

LOL. you have many talents,Your videos are great.thanks for the reply back.

[chucktatum]

Hey fellas! Greatly enjoyed your rendition. Was looking for Royal Albert Hall comeback performance of Everlys when directed to here. Glad that there's folks like you around that loves and performs these classics with such innate skill & feeling. Keep on rockin'!

[Ukuleleric]

chucktatum, hi mate, thanks so much for that. Actually, you've probably guessed, there's only me, using an effect called split screen. Film myself twice, then join the two together. All the best, Eric.

[tvviewer46]

I am over joyed I stumbled upon your site. You choose the songs from my youth. Even better, you sing them as good if not better than the original Everly Brothers. I hope you've taken your show on the road for the rest of the world to enjoy. It would be a crime not to do that.

[Ukuleleric]

tvviewer46. hi Keith, thanks so much for posting comment, I'm humbled. No, I don't gig anymore, I confess, I'm a stayathome boy now. All the best, Eric.

[sherrifofknottingham]

You are nothing more than a pervert who comments on videos involving children. You are going down.

[Gxdept]

bravissimi splendida canzone e splendida interpretazione

rita dall' italia

[Ukuleleric]

Bonjourno Gxdept, mille grazia, thank you very much. Ciao, Eric.

[baloc72]

Good performance of a good song Eric.

Sorry to hear about the hotmail problem.

[Ukuleleric]

Hi baloc72, thanks so much for kind comment and commiseration. The hotmail thing is about to be resolved, (hopefully.) Benjamin Franklin is alleged to have said 'the only thing certain in this world is death and taxes'. He left out crooks! Take care, Eric.

[littlechimpchimp]

Wow, what an amazing cover!!!

do you know where i can find the tabs for the ukulele bit or did you figure them out yourself?

[Ukuleleric]

Hi littlechimpchimp, thanks so much for comment. I got the chords out of an old music book I have however there are loads of sites online that will give you the tabs and chords for this song. Just write in the Google search box Let It Be Me Chords and Lyrics and pages will come up. Also try Boogaloo uke chords site. Good luck, take care, Eric.

[kaka0328]

Bravo ~~

[Ukuleleric]

Hi kaka0328, cheers mate, best, Eric.

[eagleskaraoke]

You guys are amazing, keep up the good work

[Ukuleleric]

Hi eagleskaraoke, thank you so much. There's not two of us though, It's just me, using an effect called split screen. I film myself twice and then join the two together. All the best, Eric.

[eagleskaraoke]

Hi Eric

You make my day,i hope you do many more songs.

You are amazing, good luck to you.

Tony in Sweden.

[Ukuleleric]

eagleskaraoke, hi Tony, aw, that's so nice. Cheers mate. Enjoyed your vids too! Keep well, Eric.

[Robikitara]

[Ukuleleric]

Robikitara, hi Robert, aw, thanks mate. Enjoyed your vids too. Best, Eric.

[ElTioIroh]

[Ukuleleric]

Hi ElTioIroh, thank you, Eric.

[violetshark]

heyla Eric! try to play who'll stop the rain too! (if you want ). I 'd like to listen to your interpretation.thanks in advance!

Alex

[Ukuleleric]

violetshark, hi Alex, thanks for comment. Good suggestion, I'll bear it in mind. Keep well, Eric.

[tfmuch]

If you want to confuse the issue (and I'm sure you do) change the lyric to "Let it be him". Seriously, I just listened to both the Everlies and Elvs on the strength of this. I love the ukelele break (the way you look at your other half is a masterly touch and oddly affecting. And that high note! You're a trooper tha way you answer all the comments. A touching version. Thanks.

[Ukuleleric]

Hi tfmuch, thanks for nice comment and suggestion, but from what I can make out I think there's enough confusion already. What a coupla days it's been. Cheers mate, best, Eric.

[Toncorn]

Great song, great performance, I would buy this!!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Toncorn, cheers mate, much appreciated. Eric.

[mmmetro]

You HAVE the X Factor Eric!!!! Go for it,you are talented,professional,and above al,GENUINE!!!!! Best of Luck,Paul. BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ukuleleric]

mmmetro, hi Paul, aw, cheers mate. Mind you, how would I do split screen on the X factor? lol. Hey, I've just thought of a new tv show, the 'Z' factor. (The zilch factor) perhaps I could go in for that? All the best, Eric.

[ingelk64]

hey you're good!!! why didn't u ever become a professional singer? if there was a world idol competition for your league, i'd vote for u, definitely.

[Ukuleleric]

Hi ingelk64, thanks so much. Well actually I have earned a few 'bob' over the years singing. All the best, ERic.

[bestiaccia]

Wonderful!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi bestiaccia, thank you so much, Eric.

[Twirretwarre]

[Thunderstorm1974]

i understand but you could do you are very very good

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Thunderstorm1974, cheers mate, Eric.

[Thunderstorm1974]

HI Ukuleleric!I speak a little english so, I came here to see your performance because this song that you perform was sung by Bob Dylan in an album named "dylan". Do you perform live sometimes?

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Thunderstorm1974, thanks for comment and enquiry. I used to 'gig' (perform live) but not any more, it's a young man's game. Mind you, nobody's told Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney that so who knows, but for the time being I'll just keep making the videos. All the best, Eric.

[17march1953]

This is Great "Super Star Material"

[Ukuleleric]

Hi 17march1953, aw, you're too too kind. Don't know your name but got your date of birth, lol. All the best, Eric.

[17march1953]

I, Patrick Mahoney's the name. Thanks for the good music, I have an Ovation Applause ukulele just like yours, trying to pick up on the chords but your playing with a capo. hm. I find they blend very nicely with the guitar.

Patrick

[Ukuleleric]

17march1953, hi Patrick, thanks for comment. Yes, I'm playing the uke with an 'adapted' guitar capo. Do I suspect a note of disapproval there? Lol! I'm doing the song in F# so without the capo, alors! c'est F! uke is tuned G.C.E.A It's a well made uke the Ovation copy, and I bought it because it has a pickup in it, albeit a passive one, but it doesn't have the 'ring' of a well made acoustic one don't you think? Anyway, cheers mate, all the best, Eric.

[17march1953]

Not even a hint of disaproval, what you are doing is wounderful. I totaly agree with Ovation, There all I have. I have two Ovation Uks, One Like yours and the Other accustic. and I have an Ovation accoustic electric for the same reason you mentioned I love them. Their always right on. You have a gift and I enjoy your music very much thanks.

Patrick Mahoney

[Thunderstorm1974]

do you speak italian??? ;)

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Thunderstorm1974, just a few words i'm afraid, but there are some very good translation sites if I need to say something longer. Cheers mate, Eric.

[Thunderstorm1974]

You are FANTASTIC!

[Ukuleleric]

Hey bonjourno Thunderstorm1974, mile grazie. Ciao, best, Eric.

[kumoijen]

ii LOVE this music.. GREAT JOB..! oh and my uke is back home in SAiPAN...

[Ukuleleric]

Hi kumoijen, thanks so much. Keep smilin' as I'm sure always do. Best, Eric.

[cpedu1]

Beautiful music to my ears, are you twins?Don't never stop playing together!

and thanks so much for sharring such wonderful talent with us, And you both sing

so well, God bless you.

[Ukuleleric]

cpedu1, hi Carvoidious, thank you so much for your comment. I read your biog and was so impressed with what you've done with your life so far. You've achieved more than most people do in a lifetime. Sorry to tell you though that the video is not two people, it's only me using an effect called split screen, where I video myself twice and then join the two together. Good luck, God bless you, Eric.

[cpedu1]

Well then, you are just brilliant! and you

are in the right place, with all the creative

people, looking, listening,loving and sharring our blessings with the world, you're

magnificient in your creativity! cmsingerbill

sent me your video, and I'm so glad he did!

thanks you for your kind comments above.

Stay Blessed Eric.

[georg2007ch]

I love this song. That was a great job. Many thanks. Georg

[Ukuleleric]

Hi georg2007ch, thank you. Eric.

[Spammyguy712]

That was awesome. You have a certain coolness about you when you sing and I love all these old songs!

[Ukuleleric]

Spammyguy712, hi Dean, aw, bless you mate, thank you very much. Best, Eric.

[glasgowbard]

Your an amazing talent eric, came across your videos while looking for original artists but have to admit your far more entertaining and a great musician too.

[Ukuleleric]

glasgowbard, hi David, aw, you're most kind, thank you very much. Best, Eric.

[Dwslassls]

Loved it! Nice job as always, Eric!

[Ukuleleric]

Dwslassls, hi Dave, cheers mate, best, Eric.

[cjwaywell]

I am also a fan of how this Video already is. It gives the Video perspective to have one chair set back. Some people seem to perceive it as being a little man, it has never come across to me like that. I just see it as being one guy sat further away. I suppose it's like the 'is the glass half full or empty question'... to me it's always half full! There is nothing wrong with this Video Eric I like it just as it is.

[Ukuleleric]

cjwaywell, hi Chris, thanks for comment. This is very interesting. It reminds me of when people look at an artist's work and remark 'what is the artist trying to say here?' probably nothing, he just painted a vase of flowers. Same with me. There's no psychological aspect ('scuse pun) to it, I just got the angle wrong. The main thing folks is that you've all liked it so far, and for that I'm eternally grateful. Cheers, Eric.

[cscentrlvideos]

A very good music video! Heartfelt & simple. Thanks for posting this. But it's kind of funny to see a small version of the singer to the left of the screen. I can't help think whether that was your "mini-me". Anyways, cheers!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi cscentrlvideos, thanks for nice comment. The discrepancy in the sizes is due to my not placing the camera dead centre. I've now rectified that for future vids. Cheers, Eric.

[cscentrlvideos]

No need to fix this video, Eric. It kinda fits with the instruments you were playing. There's a certain amusing wholesomeness about it. :)

[kaburto1966]

I just saw the advert... Excellent cup holding! Fantastic!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi kaburto1966, cheers mate. At first I couldn't think to what you were alluding, then the penny dropped. Lol, Eric.

[Alopederii]

Another masterpiece!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Alopederii, you are too, too kind. Thank you, Eric.

[mrsqeezfinn]

loving it eric :)

[Ukuleleric]

Hi mrsqeezfinn, thank you, Eric.

[agentsarahjane]

Thanks for sharing this one with us, what a delight! I am sending this to my hubby, I'm sure he will enjoy it as much as I have :)

[Ukuleleric]

Hi agentsarahjane, thank you so much, hope he did, lol! all the best, Eric.

[liszt168]

Hey Eric, if you ever have your album published, please include this one. It is so nice. Thanks for the wonderful music.

[Ukuleleric]

Hi liszt168, aw, thank you, keep well, Eric.

[22989169]

Hi Eric. Keep on churning them out. Is this what we call a split personality? By the way I see you wrestle as well, is there not end to your versitilty!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi 22989169, Lol, cheers mate. It is a bit like that story of the ventriloquist and his dummy, where the dummy starts to take over! I find there are two personalities involved, spooky! Saw the wrestling one, if he uses my name he better keep winning. There's also a rock 'n roll singer in the States with the same name as well. How dare they? lol, Eric.

[solsleuteltje]

mmmmmmmmmmmm

Let it be me.........

But you're my hero

Eric you brings my a lot of joy into my life with your music please go on .....

I love what you"re doing

Kisses Gerda

[Ukuleleric]

solsleuteltje, hi Gerda, aw, shucks, thanks so much, Eric.

[storinge]

Brilliant! Another hit! Well done both of you!
