Yeah, that's a fact.
Here's an original blues song - featuring the sweet, low down funky sound of the 'Savannah' baritone ukulele.

hey doc, I think you've found the perfect foil for your soprano...that baritone sounded unreal. This is just pure magic

Is it just me or do you sound a little bit 'Randy Newman' in that one?

Real nice - that baritone suits you well!

Great original tune, Doc..... the Doctor is definitely in.

I don't really try to sound like Newman, but he is one of my all-time favourite artists, bar none. Thanks for the compliment!

I've not really noticed it before but just seemed to come out in this song.
I know it's not your usual kind of song but I bet there's an awesome Randy Newman cover in you!

Check this out...on piano, but still....

(I just found out that it's only 30 secs...if anybody really wants to hear the whole song do a google search with keywords 'Dr Bekken' and 'Louisiana 1927'. I recorded the song in 2006, for an album named 'Flood Street', solo piano/vocal, that is.)

It played the whole song for me!

Lovely stuff, more versatile than Meryl Streep you!

Not as blonde, though.

Thanks for this Doc, truly inspirational, the baritone uke works perfectly, I love that raw chunky sound.
