WHY CAN'T THE WHOLE WORLD BE LIKE UNCLE BILL TAPIA!??! Okay, okay I'm sorry for being such an impossible idealist. God bless Uncle Bill and all his fans & followers. I can't wait to jam w/ him in heaven...awwwwrite.

keep shredding dude! \m/

[ukecycle]

@DomoIsMyBuddy Because it's a soprano. Also it's a reproduction of a turn-of the-century instrument, and they had narrower bodies back then, generally. The ukulele he was playing at the start of the video is a tenor, which is a lot bigger.

Bill tapia is awesome

Wow. Chicken skin! Much aloha to you for such a great gift to one of Hawaii's living treasures.

that guy is 101?! i'll have what he's having!

[garyukuleleca]

Keep in mind while watching this...this man is 101 years old! Most people over 90 can't remember their name and he is playing complex jazz chords and changing keys and singing all the lyrics. Whatever he ate and drank growing up should be bottled and sold!

Now, ladies and gentlemen, THAT is true aloha. This is very heartwarming.

Thank you Mike, Thank you Bill, Thank you Hawaii. Thank you God for all of the above.....
