Default In the Pines - Leadbelly cover

Hi folks.Just got a baritone uke. For those not up on ukes. There are 4 sizes.The first 3 are tuned the same as the 4 high strings on a guitar when capoed on the fifth fret.
The largest uke the baritone is tuned exactly the same as the high four strings on a guitar.So chord voicings are very similar - with some adjustments due to the missing bass strings.This was only a cheap uke as I had no chance to play it.Bought online.But it has a nice fundamental tone.Like a little birch parlor guitar with nylon strings.
It's a fun instrument for a guitarist.Here's my first go on it.The old folk / blues song.Hope some like it.

I enjoyed that solo in the middle, very percussive, and always love the harmonica.
