Hello Markus, nice to know that someone from my neighboring country is present in this uke community. By the way, you Porshe fans should try a Pinarello. Nice cycling with such a race monster, also in Black Forest. That’s what I do, besides practice my new uke. playing blisters on my fingers lol

Hi Simon, nice performance, well played too. And besides, a beautiful song by a man I admire, George Harrison. Maybe nice to tell. George himself was a big fan of the Uke. Every musician who visited him at his Friar Park in Henley on Thames (you probably know 300 km from your hometown) was obliged to a ukulele session. That’s how Tom Petty and Jeff Lynn naturally started to love the uke. Even Dylan had to believe it. And I as an amateur musician too. It is somehow meditative indeed. But as far as I’m concerned that is also due to RC101.
Thank you all.
But … (kidding): Teacher Andrew taught me a percussion trick on the uke in one of his great lessons. I had to slap a drum on the top.
Delighted with my new instrument, I hit a little too hard unfortunately. The result: a crack in the top. Now just busy with gluing. Then I will let the community hear something.
I hope the tear has no influence on this once beautiful sounding Kanile’a. We are going to experience it, haha!
Cheers,
DirkHi Andrew,
here a suggestion for a uke lesson: A song from the Imagine album by John Lennon (1971) called: Oh, My Love. The guitar part played by George Harrison would sound wonderful as an Uke arrangement, in my opinion.
