Christmas Medley on Mountain ocarina and Ukulele (2009)

I had to keep my Christmas featured video quite simple this year, due to time constraints (working, preparing for Love Cambodia, etc). I am playing my old polycarbonate Mountain ocarina, which I once gave as a gift to one of my students. I traded it back from him just a few days ago for the Noble plastic Alto C. He seems to be quite happy about the trade, and so am I :)

Sorry my playing is a bit sloppy, especially towards the end xD
But I guess the message here is that despite our imperfections, God loves us and chose to send us his Son as a gift. This is an expression of my appreciation for that gift.

Whether you believe in this message or not, I hope you enjoy my little Christmas medley video!

Merry Christmas (and a Happy New Year!!)

Songs:
-Mary's Boy Child
-Jingle Bells
-O Come all ye faithful


Instruments:
-Mountain ocarina in G (polycarbonate)
-Mahalo Les Paul ukulele (used acoustically)
A hint of reverb added in Audacity.

ps: If you see beads of sweat on my head, it's midsummer here in Australia during Christmas xD

pps: ugh, youtube put the synchronization off for the sound xD

I need your program , to make 2 videos in one -.-"

[kissing88]

its just Windows Movie Maker.. with a $15 plugin.

It's free if you have Windows XP, but $15 if you have Vista. Not sure about Windows 7.

Wow, this is amazing!! I am currently waiting for my mo through the mail (my first oc) and hope to be as good as that one day. I will probably learn the Ukulele too one day - it goes with the Ocarina so well!

I can't believe you did this in one take. That's just pure talent!

Anyway, have a great Christmas!
