Title: Incredible Ukulele
Post by: John429 on January 14, 2012, 10:22:52 PM

I was watching some music videos on YouTube and stumbled upon this one of a fellow named Jake Shimabukuro. He has got to be one of the best uke players there is! If you like ukes, you will enjoy this video;

Saw Jake in concert in December.  Incredible, he played a 90 minute solo ukulele set.  Not only a great player but a great guy.  He told stories and jokes and after the concert stayed for autographs and pictures.  Amazing, if he comes to a venue near you definitely go see his show.
