Description
I've been looking for this cut off of one of my many Zoom H2 jams on my harddrive to share . I finally found it. This was recorded sometime in June. I've been really wanting to try out the ukulele recently. I've been following the travels of uke players Bosko and Honey on YouTube and have been inspired by them to add this instrument to my repertoire.

My friend Jim has a National Resonator Uke that he plays slide on occasion with for fun. I asked if I could try it out. Here are the results. I think I like it. Next i'll have to get one for myself and record it with my Weissenborn.

One thing I like about the uke is that I have no preconceived notions about what it should be or how it should sound, so instead of trying to 'shred' or show off my chops, I can just enjoy the pleasure of playing music without being perfect.

In truth Jim's guitar playing is amazing and should probably be heard on it's own, but this is my page, so you have to listen to ME!

Hope you enjoy our jam. Thanks for listening.

cool effect
the ukulele really adds a nice effect to this little ditty. My only question is, what have you got against the mandolin? ;) Sounds cool.

Hey really nice
So nice to listen to your jammin. I found your tune because I was scanning the list of new posts to see if my new post 'Ukulele Boogie' was on, and so I found this instead! Posted the same day. Nice coincident, and a good one too, because your jammin is really nice listening for me.

Really nice...
One of my friends in this part of the world started a 'movement' called Ukulele Consciousness. He's got a zillion collectable ukes, custom cases, all kinds of woods and designs. I used to see him at open mic nights, performing uke and tuba or uke and musical saw duets and things like that. The ukulele can be quite a surprisingly musical and versatile instrument.

This sounds really nice, and is gratefully added to a bunch of the MacJams playlists in my iTunes...

sweet..
i'll probably be collecting a few ukes of my own. I mean as long as they're affordable.... And yes I've been learning that uke is a very versatile instrument and not as pigeonholed as you would think.
