Hi SilentDiamonds, aw, thank you so much, very kind. Be well, Eric.

[seanandhisuke]

Hi Eric,

I'm Back Again!

Can't Stop Watching This. The Facial Expressions You Make Have Me And My Mate In Stitches!!

I Really Want To Learn This Song. Can You Send Me The Chords ?

Thanks Eric

:-)

[Ukuleleric]

seanandhisuke, hi Sean mate, I've sent you a message. Take care, Eric.

[seanandhisuke]

Haha :D This Is Great!! Gets Five Stars From Me Anyday!!

[Ukuleleric]

seanandhisuke, hi Sean, aw, cheers mate. Look forward to seeing some more vids from you. (Right way round of course, lol.) Take care, keep on strummin', Eric.

[seanandhisuke]

I Tried To Flip The Vid But I Got Annoyed With It :) Should Be Uploading Better One's Soon Though, Do You Like George Formby?

Thanks Sean :)

[Ukuleleric]

seanandhisuke, hi Sean, good luck with your next vids. Yes, George Formby was one of the greatest entertainers this country has ever had and he was a master of the banjo/uke. Take care, Eric.

[singingkid]

LOL! That quick exit nearly had me falling on the floor! This was just brilliant, Eric! Always loved this song, and you did a superb job with it! 5 stars, and favorited. Actually, I could put all of your vids in my favorites!!! :))

[Ukuleleric]

singingkid, hi Greg, thanks so very much chum. Hey folks check out Greg's latest, one of the best singers on YouTube. Eric.

[DaRkLoRdZoRc]

Hey, remember me Eric? :)

You know, it's really a fucking SIN that your videos have so few videos compared to most of the trash here that has 100,000+ views. Never mind the simple acts themselves being well-done, but you also have costumes, wit, faithfulness towards your source, great vocal work, and audio/video quality that's nice and stable, without the jittering and feedback of most non-professional productions. Please, keep doing what you're doing! *****

[Ukuleleric]

DaRkLoRdZoRc, hey Blade, how's it goin? Yes, of course I remember you. I'm so touched by your comment, thank you so much, bless you mate. Take care now, Eric.

[zedbeeblebrox]

It's unbelievable - you're a real show Eric. It's a matter of time when I get to watch you on telly here in Germany I bet :o)

[Ukuleleric]

Hi zedbeeblebrox, aw, thanks so much mate, that would be nice. Cheers, Eric.

[mattiasandhisguitar]

the best cover I've ever heard of this song :D

[Ukuleleric]

mattiasandhisguitar, hi Mattias, thanks so much. Hey folks check this singer/guitarist out, great covers. Best, Eric.

[mattiasandhisguitar]

Thank's for the PR :)

[FFc9909Q]

Is this tune taken from Monthy Python fil called as "Brian.."ahm...I forget the whole tittle.

Your cockney scence of humour resembles me on similar seen in "Only fools and horses". Is there any chace to see You in some film project soon?

[Ukuleleric]

Hi FFc9909Q, yes it's from the 'Life Of Brian' I believe. Yes, I know what you mean about 'Only Fools And Horses' The cockney wheeler dealer is a standard character in British comedy, as to doing a film, I wish, no, I pray. lol. Take care chum, Eric.

[stoogie09]

I do a lot of voices and impersonations, but most of them have just been done in and around clubs, what would be the best to put on here out of these three.

Captian jack sparrow

Heath Ledgers Joker

or a few family guy ones

cheers m8

[Ukuleleric]

Hi stoogie09, wow, that's great to hear that you do impersonations. I'm sure we'd all like to see all that you do, especially the three that you mention as they are very topical and cool. So get videoing and let me know when you've got the first one done. Good luck, best, Eric.

[stoogie09]

any chance on some tips?

[Ukuleleric]

Hiya stoogie09, thanks so much for posting. I'd love to reply something positive but I'm not sure about what? Be pleased to answer any specific questions. All the best mate, Eric.

[stoogie09]

[tootsieblues]

glad you like this Jason great stuff!!

[drosselmeyer49]

I am always impressed with your excellent timing, Eric! Golly, Eric Idle wrote this? I always thought it was an old music hall song -- didn't realize how "new" it is.

[Ukuleleric]

Hiya drosselmeyer49, thanks so much. Yes, it does sound like an old music hall song, that's what gave me the idea to do it in a vaudeville/variety format. Cheers, Eric.

[SirLanceot]

Excellent as ever you always deliver a magnificent performance. sorry I haven't been commenting as of late but I've been a bit tied up! All the best to you in these difficult times
