thanks for watching and sorry about the messy hair, blurry video, bad singing, sloppy uke'ing, etc. etc.

I saw him live a couple years ago, and if he had pulled out the uke for this song I'm pretty sure I would have pooped my pants.

You did a great job on it, though. Consider it added to my list of uke covers to shamelessly copy.

thanks BTwriter! it's such a simple song to play too. i was going to do the lead riffs on a low G uke but then wanted to test out the new resonator. so it sounds a little weird without the lower notes. but enough to get by. have fun with it!

Great, Russ. You two are really working well together.
