Azo Bell received some much deserved recognition in a couple of recent posts that I read with great interest, and a little bit of national pride - something I'm not usually prone to.
It occurred to me that everyone might be interested in another great uke payer from Down Under - A.J.Leonard. A nice guy to boot...

From another Aussie.

The guy is clearly talented, shame the sound recording wasn't up to the task, bass notes distorting horribly.

I wonder if he was a classical guitarist in a former life.

Amazing player. He's looks a bit like George Harrison in his later years.

Just checking out his site now.

I was lucky enough to attend an AJ Leonard class this afternoon. He taught us how to play his tune, Dragonfly.

Great class and a great tune. Wished the session could have been a bit longer, as it felt a little rushed in the end as we tried to get through the whole piece in 90 minutes.
