Turkey in the Straw has become a bit of a cliché bluegrass tune but your arrangement plus the subtle uke tones have given it a whole different dimension.
Do you ever do any Irish folk music? It would be interesting to hear a jig or reel on the uke or maybe another cliché like The Irish Washerwoman.
Congratulations again on a fantastic arrangement and video performance.
Thanks Tony, it is great to have such encouraging comments.
So far I've tried to pick the bluegrass "favorites" to arrange. I had been thinking of doing more Irish or Scotish tunes. I may try a reel or a hornpipe soon.
Ken - really enjoyed the song. Growing up in Virginia and living some time in Kentucky, I have to admit I like that kind of music! I remember (barely) playing it on the piano as aa kid, taking piano lessons. Thanks for the memories!
What a fresh intepretation of this old chestnut! Truly enjoyed it Ken.

Excellent and thanks for recent posting of bluegrass tabs. You were the inspiration for me to start learning the uke and the tabs are a great help
