Hi the instrument you call a ukulele, but the ones i have seen are of all wood construction, are there similarities, or different kinds of Uke, which one are you playing, love the tune .

[Didgeman80]

@welsharcher Hi, I am playing a Banjo Ukulele. It is a Ukulele with a Banjo body. It is also refered to as a 'banjolele'. Look up 'George Formby' to see a demo of true banjolele stlye.

Gay your life must be xDXDXDDX

[Didgeman80]

@Muggstear Once upon a time, like when this famous folk song was written, 'gay' meant 'happy'. All these years later, it sill means 'happy' but if you'd like a imagine a homosexual Kookaburra, go right ahead ;)

hello didgeman, I'd like your opinion on the so-called similarities between this tune and Men at Work's Down Under. Do you believe they ripped off the tune? :) cheers

[Didgeman80]

Never heard that theory before but sitting here and singing both to myself, I'd have to think no.....I don't think so.

[ShesAnOddOneInntShe]
