Can you please make the tabs for foggy mountain breakdown?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@TheRegorbuck Maybe someday. Not at the moment though. Too many other project happening.

[arkrazor22]

what a beautiful sound.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[distrofia]

thanks!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for watching.

[shoepixie]

Whenever I hear this tune, I just can't keep from singing 'I'm bringing home my baby bumblebee' softly along with it. :D

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Haha. Thanks for the comment.

[AndresLehmann]

Sehr schön! Ein Meister des Zupfens. :-)

Absolutely splendid picking. Just found this - great.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I'd forgotten all about this.

Beautiful...

Thanks.

[ukeyermind]

Sounds sweet. Ken, I sure appreciate you making the tab and mp3 available.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

My pleasure

[kirkmillerdotcom]

Really, really nice! I vaguely recognize the soundhole sticker.. Who makes that uke? It sound just plain awesome! Nice even tempo and everything! Well done!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It is a Kanile'a.

[craigbrandau]

Very cool Ken! Pretty sounding ukulele! Also, you're keeping great time!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[tarmenmin]

Well done;) It sounds really great!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

thanks.

[shas1814]

I've definitely decided-

in my next life I'm returning

as Ken's ukulele.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you, Shas. Hope you had a great Christmas.

[Jualtair]

I really like the way you play ukulele! The sound is beautiful! 5 stars!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Grazie mille.

[chitchatt2006]

This took me right to the old south. Lovely, as usual. :)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks, so much.

[djs61909]

wow..very well done! and what a BEAUTIFUL UKULELE!

[bebi2801]

That was Luxemburgish: It say's too good. I like that when my ear rests near the music, because the melodie is taking me with. Not ass others may say, you can play very well, but there was some other music that didn't please me so well. (+/-) good. :o)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you. I appreciate it. KEN.

[bebi2801]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

[russbuss415]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you Russ. KEN.

[SailQwest]

Beautifully played!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Kim.

[g0dkarma1]

Hurray! A new one, not that I was tired of the others. Just wondering where you were. Great !

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. I'm still here. I was working really hard this week and didn't get chance to do a new video. KEN.

[casetone2514]

I hit the 5 stars button by mistake before the video had even started. I needn't have worried, though. In fact, I might do that at the beginning of all your videos from now on to save time!

A really good tune and one I'm not familiar with and, of course, a superb arrangement.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

That's funny. Thank you Tony, I appreciate it. Give this arrangement a try, it is a terrific bluegrass standard. It's one I never got round to doing on the guitar though. I am quite pleased with the way it turned out.

KEN

[keonepax]

Beautiful colors in this video, too. You sure know how to make videos!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It is filmed in our dining room. KEN.

[cz2509]

I always liked this song, it sounds great on the uke!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks, I like it too. KEN.

[BaronK69]

That uke sounds like a dream. Great playing too of course.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It is a great-sounding uke. I now record using a Zoom H2. I use Audacity and add EQ, reverb, compression and then normalize. It makes all my ukes sound good.

KEN

[BaronK69]

Aha! So you are cheating?!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Yes, but I still have to play the notes. KEN.

[BaronK69]

And your doing it damn well too!

[UKISOCIETY]

I LOVE your arrangment! This is my favorite of your traditionals so far.

Great editing too. I appreciate the close-ups. What uke is this one?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much, Alan. This is my Kanile'a tenor. I have been wanting to do this tune for a while.
