Matthew Morrison, who has played uke both on the show and in concert, has just released the first single off his debut album. It's called Summer Rain and has a very cool uke driven groove throughout the song. Give it a listen. More ukes making it into Pop mainstream. Very cool!

Very cool that he's using the uke in his music!
But to be honest, I think it's going to take awhile for me to get used to hearing him singing outside of "Glee". I hear that voice and just think "Will Schuster" and picture him dancing around the classroom, etc. Am I the only one?

I don't watch Glee, so his name means nothing to me, just heard good things about his Uke playing

I caught him in "South Pacific" on Broadway a couple of years ago B.G. (before Glee). However his character is really starting to grate on me so I may be in the same boat as you, JJ.

OK, I dig the uke, but otherwise, that song makes "Hey, Soul Sister" sound like a work of musical genius. Cheesy, cheesy, cheesy.

So, the question is: When can we get Aldrine to teach us this one? At least the strum pattern, as the chords are fairly simple... Ed
