Sam

[Ukuleleric]

SPrescott2611, hi Sam, aw, cheers chum, thank you. All the best, Eric.

[JUSTDAVID1]

I cannot understabnd why you haven't been snapped up by a talent scout. Shame on them for overlooking you.

[Ukuleleric]

Hi David, aw, that's so kind of you to say so. Actually I've been avoiding fame and fortune all my life, and so far I've been successful, lol. Take care, Eric.

[JUSTDAVID1]

You might console yourself, Eric, with the fact that for many decades now the Mediocre has been in vogue (and shows no sign of going away) so in a way your lack of fame and fortune proves how damned good you are. By the way did you ever get your email fixed after the African incident?

[Ukuleleric]

Hi David, thanks so much. Yes, I did get the email sorted, taught me a lesson though. Take care, Eric.

[SuperTravisbickle]

i liked this song very much. it had a very nice 50s club feel about it

[Ukuleleric]

Hello SuperTravisbickle, thank you very much. Be lucky, Eric.

[HermanHanauer]

Hello you beautiful two,you make me quite happy.thank you so much.Had to fav this one too.have a happy day.

[Ukuleleric]

Hello HermanHanauer, thanks so much for your lovely comment. Actually it's only me. One with a 'rug'. I film myself twice and join the two together with an effect called 'split screen'. Enjoyed your vids too btw. Take care, Eric.

[bobdot2000]

I've always loved jazz, and this is no exception! Entertaining, well sung, absolutely brilliant!

[Ukuleleric]

bobdot2000, hi Richard, thanks so much, thanks too for subscribing. I read your profile notes, very amusing, you sound like a fun guy. Good luck mate, Eric.

[PhilNg69]

11 stars!!!!! I am a Latin Ballroom dancer and I could dance to that tune!!!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi PhilNg69, wow, 11 stars? Thank you so very much. You take care now, be lucky, Eric.

[DeniseBrigham]

This is INCREDIBLE! Not only is the video well done, but the song and the singing are excellent! This song belongs in every ballroom dance event! Double the 5 stars!!!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Denise, aw, you're too kind, thank you very much. Folks, check out this mistress of jazz, phenomenal. All the best, Eric.

[Koesl]

Great! I like the split screen effect very much!!!

Greetings from Germany

[Ukuleleric]

Koesl, hi Dieter, thanks so much. Checked out your vids too...Excellent. Regards to Horst. Check this guy out folks, great singing and guitar. Best, Eric.

[romanyman]

This cheered me up! Great !

[Ukuleleric]

Hallo romanyman, thanks so much chum. Hope you're having a good bank holiday weekend. Stay cool bro, lol, Eric.

[ThePhantomChick]

Excellent! Great song, very entertaining, and I love the comedy. Nice job on the sax! ;)  5 stars!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi ThePhantomChick, thank you very much indeed. Very much enjoyed your vids too. Take care, Eric.

[weaponEX]

I intend to get swingin' very soon indeed. I'd hope to swing you a few extra Views as well..

[Ukuleleric]

Hi weaponEX, cheers mate, thanks so much. Good luck to you in all you do. Best, Eric.

[Ampollivier]

very good!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Ampollivier, thank you, take care, Eric.

[nestor3339]

GREAT ERIC, LOVE IT.

[Ukuleleric]

nestor3339, hi Ernesto, thanks so much chum, loved your paintings. Take care, Eric.

[Laggih]

Simply amazing performance and music!

As simple as the split-screen effect is, you're the only one who made it so realistic that you could think its actually 2 guys in there.

The way you look at "eachother" makes it really extremely realistic.

Great job!

You should write more swing songs =)!

(I hope I didn't doublepost now because the first comment didn't seem to work)

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Laggih, aw, thank you so much, take care, Eric.

[knobstick]

Hey - stop that guy on the left, he stole Bill Haley's jacket!!!

Another good one, Eric, with the handclaps in the middle and the key change toward the end, you know how to keep pushing the sing along!

[Ukuleleric]

knobstick, hi Keith, nice one, little tricks of the trade, they do it a lot in musicals. The main character is singing the 'big' ballad of the show, we're getting to the last verse, there's a rall, a crash of cymbals and hey presto, a key change. Always up of course. I wonder if anyone's gone down instead? Wouldn't have the same effect I guess, lol. Take care, Eric.

[soptamer]

amazing!!! very very entertaining :) +5

[Ukuleleric]

Hi soptamer, aw, thanks so much. Check this great bass player out folks, very good and very informative. Salaam, Eric.

[effects69]

lol great! :P Hope you had a great christmas!

[Ukuleleric]

effects69, hi Byron, thanks so much. Yes I did, hope you did to! Here's wishing you a fantastic 2009, all the best, Eric.

[storinge]

Great song! Great performance!

Wishing you a Happy Christmas!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi storinge, aw, thanks so much. Wishing you a very merry Christmas too! Take care, Eric.

[rolloferrari]

ii looove it.. great guys!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi rolloferrari, aw, thanks mate. Actually, it's guy, only me. I film myself twice and then join the two together with an effect called split screen. Cheers, have a great Christmas, Eric.

[foxtrotoscar67]

Had no broadband for 2 weeks! due to move-happy to see that the Erics were giving first-class performances in our absence!

Loved it yet again!

Regards as aye,

Jon and Pip

[Ukuleleric]

foxtrotoscar67, hi Jon and Pip, thanks so much. Did you start to get broadband 'withdrawal' symptoms? I know I do. Weird isn't it? It's like every new great invention once you've got it you can't imagine living without it. So, you've moved, excellent news! Speak soon, best, Eric.

[TokyoXplorer]

Brilliant once again Eric!LOve it.=]

[Ukuleleric]

TokyoXplorer, young chum, thanks so much, too kind. Take care, Eric.

[Ukuleleric]

MiK3i, hey there Michael, how's it goin'? Cheers mate, glad you noticed the ol' Satchmo homage. Best, Eric.

[22989169]

Great stuff Eric. You aint got that thing if you aint  got that swing doo wap doo wap and you certainly have. Youre a real swinger!

[Ukuleleric]

22989169, hi Ron, thanks so much. This cat's jivin', not just survivin', I ain't givin' up, skibble de do da dup.

[bestiaccia]

You're so creative; awesome job!!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi bestiaccia, aw, thanks so much. Take care, Eric.

[soulacsurmer]

I like the "red" guy much better (LOL)

[Ukuleleric]

soulacsurmer, hi Claudia, aw, thank you, even though the other one is younger and has got hair? lol. God bless, Eric.

[brcp4321]

Fantastic job again Eric Just love this one what a sax player the marquee club awaits !! just a thought i bet rosmarinusofficialis is a gardener by trade !!

[Ukuleleric]

brcp4321, hi Peter, thanks so much. Yes, I'm rather envious of him, he's better looking than me and he's got hair, lol. All the best, Eric.

[nansflicks]

OK, I'm dancing in front of my computer...

[Ukuleleric]

nansflicks, hi Nan, hehe, like to have seen that! All the best, Eric.

[rosmarinusofficialis]

Hi Eric, like Silvio Berlusconi your twin brother (what's his name) has had a hair transplant since I last looked at your videos (have been on holiday in Sinai). It makes him look much younger than you. You should follow suit. Mind you, you would have to wear a bandana for a while (like Silvio Berlusconi). On reflection, please don't. You are quite sexy enough with your intellectual's forehead.

[Ukuleleric]

Hi rosmarinusofficialis, lol, thanks so much. Actually my intellectual's forehead is more commonly know as a receding hairline. Unfortunately it doesn't make me any more intellectual than when I had hair, he he. As for being sexy, well, aw, shucks! Did you have a good holiday, by the look of your vids it looks as if it was very interesting. Are the Bedou affected by what's going on in the rest of the world, or do they just live their lives as they have done for centuries? God bless, Eric.

[rosmarinusofficialis]

Since terror attacks in Taba and Nuweiba on the Gulf of Aqaba 4 years ago tourism has declined which affects the Bedouin economically. They traditionally supply the camels and guides to the interior. While some continue their trad. life-style many have settled in villages specially created for them, e.g. El Tarabeen, north of Nuweiba, named after the tribe settled there.

[Magnulus]

hahah, fabulous, man! You managed the split-screen very well! Swing is totally the thing.

[Ukuleleric]

Magnulus, hi Magnus, cheers mate, thank you. Take care, Eric.

[Jonno71]

Nice saxaphone playing Eric. What makes this a delight is the fact that not only are we as viewers having fun watching the video, but you also had fun making it.

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Jonno71, lol, nice one. Thanks so much mate. Take care, keep warm, Eric.

[solsleuteltje]

Fantastic !!!Fantastic!!!

I really enyoued myself

For something like this, I'll come out of bed

Just wake op en see this, my day is good! Eric.... between us.......

You are the most sexy of the two :-)))))

Take care my friend

Gerda

[Ukuleleric]

solsleuteltje, hi Gerda, aw, thank you so much. Lol, love the joke. Take care, keep warm, best wishes, Eric.

[BonesPower]

Cool man me & my cat Bill were Dancein to that!!!!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi BonesPower, cheers dude, that I would like to have seen. I've got a cat called 'Whiskers'. She's semi feral. She came up to me in my Garden as a kitten some years ago and kinda...stayed. She's fairly domesticated now but she did pee on the bed once, but she's very clever and now knows one doesn't do that sort of thing. All the best, Eric.

[egyptturnip]

great song what a mover

[Ukuleleric]

egyptturnip, hi Joel, lol, cheers mate, could you hear the bones cracking? Hey folks check this uke strummer out! Best, Eric.

[SPBStudio]

[Ukuleleric]

Hi SPBStudio, thanks my friend, Eric.

[lovelyirene2001]

Groovy! :)

[Ukuleleric]

lovelyirene2001, hi Irene, lol, cheers. Take care, Eric.

[Snortandeed]

Absolutely Fantastic!

self written?? you are kidding.

wonderful song eric.

happy holidays

merry christmas

yours truly

snortandeed

[Ukuleleric]

Snortandeed, hi guys, thanks so much, yeah, self-written. As I've said somewhere else, that's what comes of sitting down and fiddlin' on the guitar. Season's greetings to you both too, God bless, Eric.

[Alexeagle0]

YAAYY! another amazing song!!! =D =D =D

the backing track really carries it along too!! =D =D =D =D =D

great job!! =)

[Ukuleleric]

Alexeagle0, hi Alex, aw, thanks so much. Take care, Eric.

[texasdallasbill]

Another wonderful performance. Great song, too. We need more music like that these days. Also, there has to be two of you, your twin maybe, because I cannot believe that is one person! Five stars!

[Ukuleleric]

texasdallasbill, hi Patrick, thanks so much. That's what comes of sitting down with the guitar and just 'fiddlin'' about. Check this gentleman and his fellow thespians on their take on Shakespeare. Hilarious. Best, Eric.

[casetone2514]

Brilliant song, Eric and a great performance. I thought the guy on the left was going to lose his 'syrup' during the first sax solo.

5/5

[Ukuleleric]

casetone2514, hi Tony, aw, thanks so much mate. Love the 'syrup' gag, made me laugh. For our American friends and anybody else it's cockney rhyming slang for 'wig' i.e. syrup of figs! Nice one. Check this guy out folks, acoustic ukulele and sweet singing. Cheers, Eric.

[davidholness]

Just Swinging ( and not Dodgy )!!!

Excellent job

David

[Ukuleleric]

davidholness, hi David, thanks so much. Wow, Sunday night at the London Palladium, da daa da da de daa daa daa daa, revolving stage and ladies and gentlemen, oops, swinging, dodgy, Mr Norman Vaughn, blimey! There can't be many on YouTube who remember that. Just you and me mate. Check this guy's vids folks. Cheers David, Eric.

[timelapse19]

Entertainment to the max! That was great, well done.

p.s - I just bought my first ukulele. Good times.

[Ukuleleric]

timelapse19, hi Tom, good to hear from you again. How're you getting on with your split screen? Checked out your latest vid, excellent, (folks give this young guy a look) Ukulele eh? Join the club mate, take care, Eric.

[timelapse19]

Hah well I've put the split screen to one side for now, may give it a whirl some other time :D Thanks for checking out my new video!

[Ukuleleric]

timelapse19, hi Tom, cheers mate, best, Eric.

[Dooda336]

good work, eric -_-

[Ukuleleric]

Hi Dooda336, how's it goin'? thanks mate, Eric.

[ukulelephil]

Your split screen is really neat! Great job!
