Sixteen Tons - Bluezified for the Ukulele

This is my version of Tennessee Ernie Ford's recording of the Merle Travis song Sixteen Tons. It bares little resemblance to the original. LOL. I'm using my RISA tenor uke tuned G C E A hooked up my loop station rig. http://www.ukulele.de

What's that wonderful mic amigo?

[manitobahal]

@GrumpyCoyoteTunes It's a Shure mic. Not sure the exact model number right now but it's a modern reproduction of the old vintage style mic.

Great job, Hal. You and Danny Michel are two of the few people i've heard who know how to properly use a loop station without being gimmicky...

[manitobahal]

@sanfordandsong That is high praise. Thanks.

Fantastic !! I'm curious what type of peddle are you using to loop like that? you do a great job.

Thanks Perry

[manitobahal]

@bluesuke Thanks Perry. I'm using the Boss RC-20XL loopstation. It's not the most advanced looper anymore, but it suits my purposes.
