Hi Folks

Just posted my 'no frills', 'one take' attempt at Irving Berlin's 'Blue Skies' on my lovely luthier built, Argapa piccolo uke that I won in the raffle at this years Hollesley Ukulele Festival.

All comments/criticisms gratefully received!

Cheers

Hi John, nice to see you making videos again, haven't seen you on here for a while. Well done for winning that little Uke, it sounded great, so did the song.

I love that song. You did a good job. Where did you find the beginning piece?

Hi roxhum

I found them here at good old Ukulele Hunt
http://ukulelehunt.com/2008/10/07/irving-berlin-blue-skies/
There is also a nice instrumental tab available, which I haven't quite cracked yet!
