On A Slow Boat To China

The Ukelites · Oct 3, 2012

Hi UU,

as we don't play baseball (sorry, Ralf!!!), we recorded one of our favourite jazz standards. It's "On A Slow Boat To China",
written by Frank Loesser. Hope you like it!

Thank you, we thought there are already enough slow versions of the song and we had fun playing it fast.

Thank you very much for your kind words, Daveey. The uke is a white label Kamaka concert, about 1970, I bought it a few months ago at ebay and I'm really happy with that uke. I guess Thesillydave also plays one of these ukes. It has this remarkable and pretty head.

How on earth did you get Jacques Cousteau on bass ??? You must have connections.
Old Jacques gave that bass a real slapping.

Merci, Miriam. Remind Steve, to send me a red cap and a pair of very tight Speedos.

So much fun guys. Another one brought to you by the King and Queen of Smooth...

Nice job, I like the rendition.
The white strings on the dark bass and dark shirt make it look like the bass is just strings, cool effect.
