When You Wish Upon a Star on Ukulele

Just chillin' with my dogs on a really lazy Wednesday. I took a vacation day and I'm enjoying it! My hairs all crazy and I'm wearing pajamas with bears on them.

The song is "When You Wish Upon a Star" from the Jumpin Jim's Ukulele Gems book by Jim Beloff. The song was written by Leigh Harline.

The ukulele is my new (very old) circa 20's ukulele. I have no idea who made it but it sounds wonderful and is currently my main axe.

Special thanks to Kent Knorr, owner of the Ukulele Academy in Wilmington, N.C. for fixing it up for me.
