Nearness of you on my new Koaloha Tenor

I haven't took out the recording gear in a while. But just bought some new Ukes and decided to do a quick recording - I need to try this again not happy at all with the performance!

Great song Joe. I sure love my KoAloha concert, and I have a long neck opio soprano on the way.

That was just what I needed to put an end to an otherwise stressful day. Thank you so much. I think I will sleep well now with this beautiful tune in my head.

B.t.w. very nice sounding uke too. Congratulations on this recent purchase.

Nice playing. I can hearing that distinctive KoAloha sound in the recording.

Joe, just lovely! I cracked up when I saw the title of the tune and the photo of you holding the big fish

This sounds really, really nice. You have great touch and really coax a warm sound and intimate sound out the the instrument. Well done.

I am not 100% sure of the arrangement I found it online somewhere and made a few modifications to it.. I would have to dig on my computer or phone to find it - I have it memorized and dont have the tabs handy..

This is lovely.
Your arrangement took an old jazz standard (right?) and brought in a real poignancy.
Made me think of the qualities of this guitar solo that I love so much:
