Happy Boss's Day! Sam Love covers "I'm On Fire" by Bruce Springsteen

This video starts out a little chatty, but the song starts at 1:00.

My Boss's Day video is actually a day early as I will be spending most of Boss's Day on the road to Ohio where I will spend about a week visiting my family.... and Erika! Keep your eyes peeled for some Helvetica Ukulele Explosion reunion videos!

Also, I apparently took some artistic license with the lyrics which I didn't notice until after I posted the video. In the 3rd Verse/Bridge section, the lyrics should be "put a 6-in valley in the middle of my skull" but for some reason, I said soul instead of skull. Who knows why?

I love The Boss and this is a great cover of one of his songs. I like your fingerpicking. I think the ukulele is often underutilized as a fingerpicking instrument. I now its fun to strum the uke, but we need more uke pickers out there. Power to the pickers!!!

I agree that fingerpicking is great for the uke! I still have a lot to learn, so I am working on it. If you have any tips, I'd appreciate it!
