WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS - Ohana BK-35

I will shortly be doing a product review of this all-solid Ohana baritone uke, so I decided to record something on it first. Here is a spontaneous recording of a wonderful old hymn.

Outside Lenin's mausoleum in Moscow seemed good place to be. It gives me the feeling that Leonid Bezhnev and his cronies are watching me from the platform above.

Ah, I love how this sounds! My mum loves this hymn, too, so I'll have to let her have a listen at it sometime. Even if I could figure out how to play it myself, my singing just isn't very good, haha! Lovely job! It's upbeat while still maintaining the original tune. I have to say I'm a sucker for the old hymns staying the same, but it sounds more friendly and happy this way, which I think is how the song SHOULD be sang! Thank you for sharing!

@CorporealPatronus Thanks for your detailed comments.

did not understand why the Lenin's tomb is in the backround...

@peligraso I thought he might enjoy being sung to.

Howdy cowboy! You sound really sweet doing that swinging style of that well loved classic Jesus song! I love it very much. You look fabulous in that checked shirt too. All that's missing is a hat.

@UnluckyMum Thanks Caroline. I suppose playing ukulele in a restricted area in Red Square is a bit hard to believe.
