Here is video we did awhile back of the great Sam Cooke tune "Wonderful World" that he recorded in 1960. This version is in the key of C and the main repeated chord progression is C-A minor-F-G7. That is Barbara Adams handling the lead vocal and top notch jazz bassman Craig Snazelle on the upright bass. I am playing a John Morton tenor resonator uke. Hope you like it.

Very nice! I love Sam Cooke. Thank you for posting.

I like the resonator uke, it reminds me of Del Rey. I think she's from your neck of the woods - she's a fantastic uke player.
 
Great job James, thoroughly enjoyed it.:D

Yes, Del Rey is a great player and singer (good guitarist as well). I have played a couple of uke festivals with her. She plays a Ron Phillips resonator uke and guitar.
 
Any day I get to hear the great James Clem play is a good day.
