Your presenation is almost hypnotic in it's performance. I think you should do more of these musical recitations.

Lovely reading of a really beautiful poem. Great job to both of you Ken and Ruth. The ukulele accompaniment suited the poem so well, and really added to the atmosphere nicely.

A terrific reading of Ruth's great poetry, Ken. And a very fine and well-suited accompaniment. I just love the "angels" line.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

To be honest, Bruce, I like the bit about the angels too. Thanks very much.

[ruth7784]

Thank you Bruce :-) I have a 'thing' about angels! lol. X

This is an interesting development. I've thought along similar lines myself, but lack the nerve - very easy to get disastrously wrong. A change from the usual ukulele nonsense that turns up on youTube. It's a thumbs up from me. Hmm.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Ian. I appreciate that.

[BaronK69]

I thought I commented last night, but I can't see it anywere... Anyway, great stuff. You really know how to read poetry and Ruth sure knows how to write it!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks R. By the way, my new uke will be finished in a day or so.

[BaronK69]

That's great news Ken - I bet you're so excited you can't sleep! All good things come to those who wait...

[ruth7784]

Thank you R :-) X

Thank you, Kean.

[kc8afw]

I think all poetry readings should have ukulele accompaniment. Most excellent, Ken!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Great idea. Thank you.

[theBradlands]

What a pleasant four minutes. Lovely playing. Your voice so mellow... and a wonderful poem.

Beautiful playing Ken. Great poem too!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

[DonfromMT]

Interesting how a change in the backing music makes this feel different. I liked the post on the haiku channel, but this is more atmospheric. Kind of the musical equivalent of onomatopoeia in poetry. I get the feeling of water and sunshine or maybe I'm just responding to the references to liquid and rain in the poem. Whatever it is, I like it.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for the positive comment, Don. muuch appreciated.

[ruth7784]

Hi Don, I think Ken has perfectly captured my feelings when I wrote the poem. I think the music makes it seem very passionate and powerful. He's made it come alive with his magic, like I knew he would do :-) X

[KYOTOZOOM]

Excellent !!

Really great improvisation !!

Good night Mr,Ken...

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Good night, Tsutomu.

[ukeshale]

Excellent recital. Great poem. Bravo to both you and Ruth

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Shane. Were you the one that gave it one star? Only joking.

[ruth7784]

Thank you Shane :-) X

[waterdog226]

Fine playing and a poet's voice with this one!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much.

[phillipsderek]

Superb!

I love the poem and your recitation and accompaniment are wonderful, the slightly dissonant chords work well.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Glad you liked it, Derek.

[ruth7784]

Thank you Derek :-) X
