Ukulele, Melodicas & Kalimba - Night Boat to Cairo (Madness)

My second attempt at a one-man band video. The song is "Night Boat to Cairo" by that nutty band, Madness.

This one goes out to all the rude boy and girls of the world.

All audio parts are dry (no effects such as reverb), except the very beginning (the fog horn sax part) and the third time I shout "night boat to cairo" which I experimented with and decided to leave in just for fun.

Is it hard to get that rythm on the melodica?

takes a lot of breathing I guess

[logophile]

Thanks man! I really appreciate that. I only wish I could WRITE such great music. Yes, the melodica ska rhythm took some practice.
