I got sucked into the vacuous hole of YouTube the other day when I saw this video of Jame Hill, who is apparently a ukulele genius, doing stuff where he is a completely self sufficient one man band playing melody, chords and percussion all at once, I was not only in awe of his talent, but also of his showmanship and ability to play to the audience... very entertaining!!... I’ll share the highlights with the few that I found most awesome:
First one I saw was a version of MJ’s Billie Jean:
Next was Voodoo Child:
And finally a couple of fiddle tunes and an original; a BG Jam favorite is here within; Blackberry Blossom... I particularly like his original... the cellist accompanying him is his wife.
So yea,... it IS a Uke... enjoy.
