Hi guys You've captured the Italian exuberance with another enjoyable safari adventure. I hope you ask James Hill to play his largo cantabile for you; it's the worlds greatest uke piece. Hope to see you at the NY uke fest this coming May. Earl ledden

[boskohoney]

g'day Earl... long time no hear!

well, we won't be able to come over so soon... but we're working on some more travel at some point!

hope to see you - b and h

[kotiaho]

...and even a take on "It's a man's, man's, man's world" with the uke. Love the song, great version.

Great stuff, B&H... keep, keep, keep on doin' what you are doing!

- weelie -

[boskohoney]

Kiitos, Weelie!

Love to you and Igor and the boys!

[Haart911]

I´m sending out my love out to you Bosko & Honey, you both are so lovely.

The UKEit Volume Uno is indeed a great CD - I recommend it heartily. I know of the trouble in Italy - Not so many people there know of the instrument, but time will change that. My two little cousins living in Venosa ( South Italy ) own two Ukes for more then 5 yrs now :)

[boskohoney]

Thank you so much, Haart911...

We hope there's a UKEit Volume 2 soon!

[TomBlackthorne]

Great video!! Your editing skills are getting better and better. It really captured the wonderful spirit of the festival.

Keep rocking and hopefully we'll meet again.

..and Marco's right: the CD is fantastic. All rush out and buy a copy!

[boskohoney]

Thanks Thomas.. good to hear from you!

we look forward to that meeting! love, b and h

[40mumumark]

Love you guys - might see if my neice is up for a picture on Thursday Bosko hehehe - Mark

[boskohoney]

hehe, so you're commenting at last - thanks Mark, we love you too!

[swingbossa]

On the eve of what I hope is a new era in US history, this video makes me feel even more hopeful. The ukulele (and you two) bring together so many different people with so much music and joy. I can't thank you enough for these videos, and I really do hope to meet and play with you sometime!

[boskohoney]

swingbossa, next time we go to the US, yes! let's meet! thank you again for your supportive comments - b and h

[funkyyeti]

Ahh! I love your work. It's been too long since you posted your travels. I needed something to put me in a good mood before I went to work. this did it. Now off to clean windows!

[boskohoney]

that's a very appropriate occupation for an ukulele player!

thank you very much, we're glad you enjoyed it - more soon! b and h

[uking]

Wow ! So much different souls! indeed! thank you so much!

[boskohoney]

it was very fresh, uking

[craigbrandau]

When I die, I want to go to Bosko & Honey's Ukulele Heaven!

[boskohoney]

haha, well let's hope that's not the sequel to the Safari!

[craigbrandau]

This is so cool! And, Oh Dear Lordy!. How I need one of those t-shirts!!!!

[boskohoney]

thanks Craig... i think they may sell them via the Barlumen website (there's an English link)

it's worth contacting them... and the UKEit CD is seriously good!

[ukulelezaza]

Excellent episode yet again, worth the wait! Hopefully I'll be able to attend the Italian uke fest this year...

[boskohoney]

we hope you do... now if only we could wrangle it too somehow...

thanks Remco!

[Mardet14]

This is a terrific video.

I really enjoyed the energy that came across

in the viewing, but then again, it is Italy.

Thanks for letting us share in your adventure.

A shot of Boskohoney makes the day!

[boskohoney]

thanks again Mardet14... sharing bits of this adventure is the least we can do! we feel very lucky to have had the chance...

[liz1060]

It's reassuring to see so much positive energy in one place -- can ukulele be the hope of mankind? Hahaha! Excellent documentary, 5 stars.

[boskohoney]

thanks Liz! well, it's our hope anyway!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

An excellent documentary. I would have loved to have been there. Perhaps next year ...

KEN

[boskohoney]

Italy is worth it just for the food and people... and a ukulele festival too? if there's any way we can return, we will!

Thanks again Ken

[UkuleleLady1]

Thank you Bosko & Honey!!! :)

[boskohoney]

Is that you Veronica?

Thank YOU! we really hope to meet you again some day... we were a bit shy last year, but you and Max are our heroes!

[UkuleleLady1]

We were shy too!!! But the next time no more....:) A BIG HUG TO YOU BOTH! Veronica

[boskohoney]

yes yes! next time! we look forward to it... love from b and h

[ukuleleone]

[boskohoney]

Ciao Leone!

[ukuleleone]

Ciao ciao!

I would like to bring my wife and my son to the next festival!!

hahaha, mine is a dummy tremolo...

By the way, I just changed my job and I moved from Tokyo to Matsumoto, close to Maktab's town!
