Poots baby! How are you this fine morning (6AM here) ?
Here's the McDonald's ad. The ukuleles appear at about 0:11.

Very impressive Pootsie

Yeah, I saw it too, Dean. But, he was just juggling ukes. Now, Pootsie's video indelibly stamps the combination on my mind as JUST ... PLAIN ... RIGHT!
Of course, Dean, the next question is ... are you riding and playing, too?
I've got to think the cockpit load is tough when the pedaling cadence and the music beat aren't in sync ...

Doug, I can ride and play but I havr no idea how pootise got such a great recording. I also commend him on his bravery, I have been unicycling for 41 years (boy, am I tired) and don't have the guts to go barefoot. Then again some of my uni have spiked pedals. Here is a pic of me going to work one day

Thank you all for the kind words!
As to the recording, I used my phone clipped to my strap and added some reveb. Synching was the tough part since I have no good software and a pretty low-powered computer. Hence the clap as the vid opens -- old fashioned hollywood tech.
As to barefoot, well ... that's how I do everything. Except appear for trials and oral argument in court. I just find I have better pedal control with my toes.

thanks Pootsie. What uni's do you own? Right now I only have a 26" and 29". I sold my 36" last year.

I have the one in the video. It's the one-wheeled kind. I don't know much else, except when I wore the tire down I opted for a knobby tire because ... cuz it was fun.

The way I see it, Dean is headed down to the North Carolina Ukulele Academy to get more ukes ... with his pack animal.

there's also this one from Match.com that I saw last time I was home, not sure if it's still on! Admittedly no juggling or unicycles, still an ok ad though, even if it is a little bit twee!

Doug, I was messing around. I am a photographer and I go to daycares with that pony (he is housebroke) and I photograph kids on him. I did it for advertising to tell centers that Buddy was coming to their area soon!LO! Dean, that photo BEGS for the story behind it!
