Blue Moon (original)

[Panchuy0904]

¿Pensaste que te ibas a llenar de guita después de "Behind The Rainbow"?... que ya de por sí es una cagada.... ¿qué onda con esos charangos glorificados? ¿ukuleles?.... ¿wtf?

[Amberol]

when you need something that is less than more, this is perfect! Bravo... love it!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@Amberol Glad you liked it. It is one of my favourites.

[abustossbb]

Canción armoniosa y la voz es muy suave y agradable

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[laggar28]

I think he sounds pretty much like Eastwood?

Listen to the theme of Gran Torino or the song When i Sing About You by Clint Eastwood :)

btw. awesome!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

My favourite director.

[MagicMouthDJ]

how nice voice

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[Scruffynpm]

u r so good man keep up the good work i love your voice

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for listening.

[mikelowery3103]

Love the voice. The touch of rasp is a nice contrast with the soft quiet sound of the ukulele. I could only imagine how much more raspy your voice could be, but it sounds great with that soft leash you've put on it. Keep it real.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much for the comment.

[remco1964]

Perfect voice and mood, top job

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Remco.

Kean

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much.

[mctrmt]

Your poor voice! Lay off the whiskey and cigarettes for a while, Ken.

Lovely performance.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I managed to cut back a little on the hard liquor, but still can't get below 50 a day. Of course the ether helps with the whiskey withdrawal.

[NileCruises4u]

Ken, when you use the Zoom and the video in Movie Maker, do you use a count in on both to try and get them in synch. I know you suggested "nudging" the audio track into synch in Movie Maker but it's a bit harder than I thought. You do a great job in making it look seamless.

Colin

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

No I don't use a count in. When I trim the video and audio I leave very little before the start of the tune. However, a count of say 5 would be a good way of doing it.

[NileCruises4u]

Thanks very much Ken. I love what you do and appreciate your help.

Have a great weekend!

[NileCruises4u]

Ken could I ask what video camera you use to make these great videos? The quality and size is just great.

Colin

[krabbers]

excellent job Ken you have a very calming voice

top stuff ruth

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. I like this one more than most of the others I done recently.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[josephhoh]

It's really lovely Ken. Take care of your voice; I want to keep hearing your voice for a lot longer.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Joseph. It has now returned.

[jmmquah]

I think thats my favourite of your collaborations with Ruth, Ken. So its favourited!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks James. I am pleased with this one.

[fourteentwelve]

You and Ruth work really well together! Her beautiful writing, your lovely playing, singing and arranging. So lovely!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you, Michelle. I'm really pleased with this one.

[theBradlands]

Wonderful uplifting poem and music.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Brad.

[UkesterBrown]

I really liked this one. I liked how you repeated the last phrases.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[Blake12000]

Beautiful. I enjoyed that.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[russbuss415]

i wish i could write like Ruth, i wish i could rock like Ken. take care of that voice Ken!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It's slower returning, Russ. Thanks.

[ruth7784]

I wish I had a pup like yours and your voice Russ! :-) X

[UKISOCIETY]

That was fun, Ken. The ukulele was perfect for the intimacy you created with the poem.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Alan. The poem "hit" me straight away.

[kc8afw]

Wow! The Ken/Ruth combo is really doing it for me (again). Although I'm sorry you're losing your voice...it really adds a great quality to this performance.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Haha. It's starting to return now.

[doogey9]

Just Wonderful Ken,

cheers,

Todd

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you, Todd.

[AcousticMonster]

Sounds really good Ken! Are you using an expensive setup to record your videos? The sound quality is really nice.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

A 4 year old compact camera (still not video) and a zoom H2. That's it.

[idrnoel]

Very nice Ken. I believe I could hear the strain in the voice but there's a nice touch to it. Get some rest mate! Btw, I'm still working on what we talked about. Will get back to you by the end of the week ok.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

OK Dylan. Thanks.

[deach69]

Beautiful poem. Well done Ken. Your (lack of) voice worked perfectly.

[ruth7784]

Thank you Deach :-)  X

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I am going to see if there's time for one more recording before my voice fully returns. Thanks Deach.

[phillipsderek]

Really well done Ken.

Such a lovely poem and your musical interpretation is a perfect compliment to it.

[ruth7784]

Thank you Derek, Ken's certainly added his magic to it! :-) X

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Derek.

[MrBarryMusic]

Very haunting, but beautiful. I love this kind of thing! Very well done Ken!

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

Just beautiful Ken (and Ruth)... That C7 just makes it. great Choice.

[ruth7784]

Thank you Grumps :-) X

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. I agree about the C7, Coyote.

[UnluckyMum]

This is so very good- well done to both of you :)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Caroline.

[ruth7784]

Thank you Caroline :-) X

[BaronK69]

Awesome job, both of you! And your voice sounds more like Cohen than ever. Love it!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Haha. Its my throat infection that makes my voice half an octave deeper. It's just too quiet.

[ukeshale]

Really wonderful. A great collaboration of sorts. 5 stars

[Sheepstar15]

This is lovely Ken. What a nice thing for your friend, too :)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you very much.

[keanghiero]

Nice

5*

All the best

Kean

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you very much, Kean.

[KYOTOZOOM]

Beautiful...

Maybe I will have a lovely dream tonight.

Thank you Mr,Ken.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

That's my pleasure, Tsutomu.

[DonfromMT]

"For once in a blue moon, we are home." That's an intriguing ending and a good one, I think, because it gets me wondering and filling in the blanks for myself. I like the happy tune, too, especially because it seems it may not last.

Hope whatever has a hold on your voice, gives it back, Ken. And I hope you are enjoying these collabs, because I sure am.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you Don. Yes, I'm sure they'll give it back.

[ruth7784]

OMG Ken! I'm speechless! When I compose myself I'll PM you. I really really love it, thank you friend :-) X

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I'm pleased.
