Brian's Blue Heaven

Here's a ditty played on my special "My Blue Heaven" ukulele. The uke is an "Earnest", built by Joel Eckhaus. This one was hand painted by artist (and musican) Greg Dearth. See more photos of this and other ukes by Joel Eckhaus at http://www.earnestinstruments.com/american.html

This sounds great! Have you played the Earnest "Sputnik" ukuleles? I want one, but I'd love to know how they sound. Thanks!

I've played a few. They sound and feel great. I was surprised that they sound so good.

[FranSpain]

great!!! by Joel? which uke sounds better, this or the 3k?

[heftone]

Both sound fine. The 3K has the advantage of 70-80 years to develop an especially rich mellow tone. Joel's sounds very pretty and clear as a bell.

This is very beautiful!  :)

This song, My Blue Heaven was a hit in 1927. My Granddaughter was telling me about a new song and trying to remember the words. Finally I caught on that she was trying to sing My Blue Heaven. She was shocked when I knew the words.

You play it very well.

If i could play like that i would totally leave the house to share it with everyone

[timboytx]

Okay, I think if I could play like that I'd never leave the house. Really nice.

[grinrotten]

As always, great stuff, Brian. Hope you have the Blue Heaven with you next time we play together.
