most known video and my fav http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avxpn_MsPYs

Molly Lewis, aka sweetafton23, is a student from Orange County, California who is known for performing original songs, pop covers, and Jonathan Coulton covers on the YouTubes. Her first Jonathan Coulton cover stemmed from an incomplete recording of her performance of Tom Cruise Crazy for her high school talent show. After someone sent a link to Jonathan Coulton himself, and he expressed interest in seeing a full recording, she obliged. The resulting video later won the Ukulele Video of the Year 2007 award at Ukulele Hunt. More recently, she has recorded a cover of Still Alive. Molly Lewis performed with Jonathan Coulton and Paul and Storm in Seattle on April 26th, 2008.

anywho... i just thought i would put more about these two gals on this thread since some people may not know of them.. i think everyone here at UU knows AG!

if you are in socal.. and you enjoy non-traditional ukulele playing.. or just nice fun people that make music.. you should go to both of these shows. i have met molly in real life.. and she is super sweet and kind.. and DATS and i have messaged back and forth on youtube and she even did a little drawing on a shirt for me..

i love when you get to meet artist and they are still new.. not cocky.. down to earth.. and kind of taken back by people loving there music.. like it still turns them on.. it is neat to see that.. i think that is why i tend to spend my money in chunks of 8 - 15 dollars to see local, or small indy bands and performers.. instead of 30-60 to see the big names.. not that there is anything wrong with the big names out there.. love them aslo!

so if you are in socal.. LA area.. check out the youtubes.. and if you like hit these shows up!

the best part of these shows was equal parts music and making new friends... i got the chance to meet each performer and have real conversations... it was GREAT! i am would rather spend my money on people like this than any of the big names... if anyone gets the chance to see any of these people.. do it!

good times..
