Got the uke about 2.5 months ago and it's been a month since I last made a recording so I figured I'd throw one together tonight.

This is Ken Middleton's arrangement of "Arkansas Traveler", though about 30bpm slower than he does it :) I played the melody on my Kala solid mahogany tenor, then added some rhythm backing with a Lanikai O8, and doubled that again with the Kala.

The recording is at http://soundcloud.com/rubyist/arkansas-traveler. Comments welcome.

Thanks

Very beautifully played, Scott. I like what you have done with it. And it is such a nice tune that it doesn't need to go any faster. A lot of people play bluegrass fast to impress the listener rather than entertain them. This is great just the way you have done it.
 
Hi Ken,

Thanks very much for your comments. I'm really enjoying working through your arrangements and am very grateful for them.
