This tune is also available from the New Leviathan Oriental Fox-trot Orchestra, where I first heard it in 2003 when they played for the Louisiana Purchase Vintage Dance Week.
Yes, I played 5-string banjo before I learned ukulele. 5-string banjo and ukulele are tuned similarly, and for tunes like this I use the same fingerpicking approach I'd use on banjo.
I knew it! I learned the uke first, but now play the banjo and have lately been trying some of the same rolls etc. back on the uke. The high top string makes some of it sound eerily similar. Eventually I will post a uke song doing this, which I would name but you might beat me to it!
superb

Very nice and even more interesting. Do you by any chance play the banjo and have transposed some of those techniques to the uke?
