Cissy Strut on Ukulele

Messing around on a Sunday morning. I am using my two Koaloha ukes (d-vi for chords and concert for improvising melody). Done in one take so the beat gets dropped occasionally and there are a couple of bad notes. I welcome constructive criticism.

Right on, I love The Meters! This is great. It's slightly out of the pocket, but still really good. You obviously have the skill.

This is one of my favorite things to play on bass. I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Meters! George Porter Jr. is a national treasure! I first discovered him on Tori Amos' early stuff, of all places. I read an article about him in Bass Player magazine ages ago, and decided to check out The Meters. It turned out I had heard a lot of Meters tunes during the one year I lived in Lafayette Louisiana when I was 10 years old (1975). Amazingly, when I heard them in my 30s, they came right back to me. I've never seen G.P. Jr. play, but I DID see the Neville Brothers a couple of years ago in Telluride, so I got to see Papa Funk himself, Art Neville!

Yeah you're right about the out of pocket. I think I might try again strumming the chords instead of the fingerpicking thing I was doing (which seems to sound better on my telecaster).

Good tune... good shot on the uke. Thanks for sharing... enjoyed the performance!

Great song choice. High 5 for New Orleans funk!

Stray Cat Strut, they were so retro when they came out with that album, no one was sounding like that in the early eighties.
