OK- I probably should have left the Uke out. I learned something though- if you are going to play a rhythmic instrument, do not play the basses on your squeezebox!
This is about the first tune I learned on any instrument, and the Uke is only there so it can be included in the Woodie Guthrie youtube tribute. I played it about a million times back then, and my wife threatened to leave me if I played it again...So I played it a million times more to see if she was joking or not (she was totally bluffing).
I know it is not a Woodie Guthrie tune per say, but I learned it from him. I will never forget the day the sage wisdom was passed down from the aged one (my Da'), who has played steel guitar for fifty years. "Son, you are playing that WAY too fast".
Indeed I was. So here we go- Red River Valley, from the top, WAY TOO FAST. Punk rock version if you will
