Recorded this a while back and had the chance to perform it again today. Very much inspired by Jake Shimabukuro's version:

That is a custom Koa Works tenor that Rich Godfrey made for me a number of years back. A really special uke, my second Koa Works, and made from very old and dark koa.

Very very nice! Really shows what can be done with the "simple" ukulele.

Wow, great musicianship! Love your phrasing and the way you exercise restraint with dynamics. Is this your arrangement?
