A tribute to Bonnie Raitt - Gerald Ross ukulele

Gerald Ross · Apr 3, 2011

Many people comment that I don't play music by contemporary artists.

Well here's my tribute to current (and living) singer Bonnie Raitt. I give you the novely Tango 'Hernando's Hideaway'. How does this relate to Bonnie Raitt you ask? John Raitt, Bonnie's father was in the original 1954 cast of the Broadway musical 'The Pajama Game' which featured this song. See... I can be hip and up to date when I try.

There are plenty of people covering contemporary artists, I'm glad there are those like you to dig up gems like this.

John Raitt had a cameo appearance on an episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun, which stars John Lithgow. John Lithgow also played Rev. Shaw Moore in a movie called "Footloose" which starred... Kevin Bacon! :nana:

Sounds great, Gerald! (still not getting credit for covering a contemporary artist though..
