"The Jig Is Up!" (Or, What You Get When You Play Your Uke's Maker an Unnamed Tune)

Finally got around to shooting a couple live takes of a new-ish tune.

As eluded in the title, I was visiting my buddy Chuck and played him this song, which didn't have a name at the time. He listened to it and then went back to work, saying "The Jig Is Up!" with a sly smile. Bingo.



Thanks to my little brother, Evan, for taking the time to film this. If you're on Hawai'i Island and need photos taken, he's the man: http://evanbordessa.com.
 
sweet as, Brad.
beautiful video too.
only thing missing was a purty gal on the fiddle. :)
 
Sounds great brother!

Wonderful melody, and I love the changes in the different phrases of the tune. "Jig" indeed :)

Thanks for sharing :music:
 
Mahalo, folks.

@mountain goat: Purty gal fiddle players are almost as hard to find as bass players in these parts!
 
I enjoyed that Brad, mahalo for sharing!
 
A catchy little number - well played too. Well done.
 
Great tune, Brad! Nice contrast between the A and B parts.
