"Stella" a ukulele original and dedication

Sometimes we cross paths in life with a person...maybe truly only briefly, but a kinship is felt, from the start. Sometime friends go their way , and there is no questioning why, only is there a space in which to say thanks, that they DID cross your path;-) My friend Stella left word last week, she was leaving (or had left) here (Britbluesfan please search and find some of her vids..which are active altho the channel is not.) ....that day, I had delivered one son to school early, and caught this beautiful sunrise and "natural" cloud formations..(not man made "clouds"--these real clouds are so pretty) then I fired up the puter to start my work day , opened mail and found Stella's goodbye....for what ever reason, she had to go....she brought many happy listens to the table, and always blessed me with kind words and encouragements. So this sunrise is for Stella,.....Thanks so much for simply being you:-)you are a blessing!
(not just to me, but to many others who enjoyed her dedicated music(blues)channel).

This is great and I really enjoyed the listen, thank you. What's with the ukulele bit? Is it a baritone you are playing as it sounds very guitar like. Still good whatever it is. Thumbs and kind regards.

@raffaport Thanks so much for listens:-) it is an old Harmony Bari strung with classical guitar strings--three out of the four are metal..highest string, Nylon,,,and why the guitar style/sound, that plus my lazy uke method which is mostly all barred chords (actual fingered chords are so pretty and richer, but,...my time is so limited, therfore, I cheat!) ,,,it is tuned just like my lap steel , in open D DADF# , the bottom (AD)

Beautiful song and video for Stella, Cinders. It`s one of my favorite subjects in pictures, clouds !! and you have captured them wonderfully here. The positive thing about friends departing is they take a little of You with them. Stay sweet.

@kickingmule she is a sweetheart and I think someday she might show up plunking, sliding and bending notes, strumming on an instrument, too......I love the knowing that thru my notes, and thots...inspiration went forth and it may have caused someone to "find their banjo"...:-) the muses are good!!

Blessings, Urban!
