Well, the gut strings on the ole Gibson have settled and I thought this would be a fitting song for a true "test drive". Here is Roy Smeck's arrangement of "Ain't She Sweet" from the album The Magic Ukulele of Roy Smeck.



UPDATE:

A new Gibson soprano arrived in the mail today. I did the same song for comparison. Same strings. I think the new one sounds better though!

How did you know that is what I was going to call it??? lol

Thanks mate! I'll let you know when I get something recorded. For now my old CD of crappy songs is available on iTune and Spotify (for free).

LOL. I know it sounds ridiculous but I often like to attach silly made up stories to my ukes just for fun. So I pretend that I traded the Devil my soul for it at the Crossroads and now I can play like Roy Smeck. Just a fun little story I tell myself in my head when I play it. I use to own a UB-2 and I used to pretend that it was the long lost UB-2 that George Formby lost during the war.

Isn't imagination fun!! :) lol
 
So I got another Gibson soprano in the mail today... hehehe! EDIT: I took the video down of the new Gibby because I want to do a different song with it and use the nice mic and really get a solid recording. This uke is too nice.
