Imagine our surprise!
It was an otherwise typical Wednesday night in the back room of the Dominion Tavern, where uke players gather weekly for music and beer.
Suddenly, who should walk in the door but the legendary virtuoso... Jake Shimabukuro!
He gave an impromptu performance and talk, took questions and stayed to sign ukes - all in all, about 2 hours of his time.
You couldn't find a more generous, professional, humble, talented artist anywhere.
Thanks Jake!
Here's his signature tune, "as seen on YouTube," a gorgeous rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
@flagrantchicken He was invited by some member who saw him in Hawaii and then followed up...

What?!?!? Was this purely out of the blue or did someone invite him? Did he contact someone? Just curious. I wish I was there.

You mean no one else got a chance at open mic? Sheesh!
