Born to be Wild - on Electric Ukulele

This is my first ukulele video. I've been playing the uke for a few years. I was first inspired by friend Ralph Shaw and the members of the Vancouver ukulele circle.

Distorted uke has a lot of possibilities as I hope this video of Born to be Wild will show.

This is one of the songs my band is currently playing at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. I first performed this song on an acoustic uke at the Vancouver Ukulele Circle, and later at Summer Spaces 2009. The distortion is a recent addition.

@pariskotsaros It's a K-Wave, made to resemble an LP.
