Gosh, I would loved to have met John.

He made the world a better place by sharing his love of Hawaiian music and talent for playing it.

RIP dear friend.

awesome video, you got great talent! Do you mind doing a tutorial?

[angorawol]

one of the best ukulele players ever, R.I.P.

Rest in peace, Mr. King. You will be missed.

Beautiful playing! Any chance you will record and post videos of you playing your Glyph replica Octavianno Nunes Machete de Braga? I heard you play it live a bit over a year ago, and can't think of a time I was more moved by a "uke" performance. It would be wonderful to have your superb interpretations of those unique (Madeiran?) compositions (performed on your extraordinary machete) preserved for posterity on Youtube.

Nice and clean John. Are you in standard tuning (GCEA) or an open form?

Thanks, Johnny Pal of MangoDaville

Thanks for commenting!

It's amazing to hear you play so cleanly with those Sevovia-sized fingers on that tiny ukulele. To state the obvious: fantastic performance.

[NaluMusic]

Thank you.

[TokyoUketarist]

Exquisite play as always! When you played guitar did you play classical or some finger picking style? I just wondered how you developed suc a smooth style.

[NaluMusic]

Thanks! I studied classical technique for many years.
