@UkesterBrown thanks very much for stopping by and taking the time to listen , 

[knoxukulele]

Such a warm sound from the 8 string and such vivid imagery invoked within my mind. Another classic Krabbers, cheers!

[krabbers]

@knoxukulele thanks very much knox

[uke5417]

Stayed twice so I could enjoy the great last verse again, though the whole of it is extremely well crafted. Pick a century, any century..

[krabbers]

@uke5417 thankyou very much Bruce

[lisaxy424]

hauntingly beautiful :)

[krabbers]

@lisaxy424 thankyou lisa

[0SkippyTheClown0]

I enjoy your work Krabbers. I have an 18 year old son so this one is close to my heart. I like the way your eight string sounds. Thanks for writing it.

[krabbers]

@0SkippyTheClown0 thanks for taking the time to listen

[MrPlatypus70]

Really powerful song and very moving performance, just great. I love the way the "I don't know" refrain ties it all together. I saw the 8 tuners and I thought you had some kind of big mandolin or bouzouki but it is an 8 string uke! Sounds really nice, must be fun to keep in tune when the strings are new!

[krabbers]

@MrPlatypus70

thanks for watching Mr P

i was going to buy the solid spruce top one but it would not tune up in the shop , i went off it quite quick, but the laminate mahogany top sounded great straight away so i had it this one has a pickup fitted as well

[mrsweettater]

this one hits home for me Krabbers. Thanks for the excellent song!

[krabbers]

@mrsweettater thank you very much for stopping by and taking the time to listen, i realy do appreciate your comment, cheers

[krabbers]

@ArtificialCleverenAI thankyou

[phillipsderek]

Love the song and the new instrument sounds great!

[krabbers]

@phillipsderek thankyou very much for stopping by and taking the time to listen

[krabbers]

@DearOldNutjob took me three goes to get right through it, i nearly lost it on the last verse

[Adie227]

Nice song Krabman :D

[krabbers]

[teteroom]

Good work!!...really nice song!

[krabbers]

@teteroom thankyou very much for stopping by and taking the time to listen

[UnluckyMum]

This is stunningly brilliant, the imagery you create is amazing. It could be about any of our soldiers in the last 100 years, a truly timeless piece of writing.

It made me think about the first world war when I was listening to it, but I guess it could be any of them. And its just so flipping sad :(

[krabbers]

@UnluckyMum there are 3 different themes running thru it.

so i guess it could be 1st 2nd or present

[kennymelodica]

[StubyStubyDoo]

Popped in for another listen. I think that this tops "This Message" (for me anyway). Poignant a, topical and musically just stunning and you crafted some powerful images.

Special

Hats off too you again.

[krabbers]

@StubyStubyDoo thankyou stu 

[royster301]

@biggeorgewebley thankyou very much for stopping by and taking the time to listen Big George

[UKISOCIETY]

Heartfelt and moving performance, M.

[krabbers]

@UKISOCIETY it was hard work getting thru it

thanks 

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I knew you'd bought an 8 string. I was wondering when you'd post something on it. Fabulous.

[krabbers]

@KenMiddletonUkulele thanks ken i went for a mahogany laminate with pick up in the end .

the spruce just wouldnt tune up out of the box and i went off it quickly in the shop, this has a lovely tone, and good enough for the stuff i do

[floydbluethereal]

That's really beautiful, krabbers!

[krabbers]

@floydbluethereal thankyou Ralf

[ukeshale]

Just great. All of your originals are wonderful

[krabbers]

[casetone2514]

When did you get the 8-string?

Beautiful song.

You look like David Kossoff in this vid.

[krabbers]

@casetone2514 i went for a mahogany laminate with pick up in the end .

the spruce just wouldnt tune up out of the box and i went off it quickly in the shop, this has a lovely tone, and good enough for the stuff i do

thankyou Tony

i cant even swim let alone drive a talking car

[casetone2514]

@krabbers

It's OK, David Hasselhoff never narrated Jackonory and, as far as I'm aware, never sired the lead guitarist with Free.
