John.
There are many musicians I've met who'd inspired me over the last couple of years I've been playing again regularly; many of them our mates here on UU. And *YOU* are certainly one of them.
I totally love the stuff you do, and I am envious of not only your relaxed way of singing and playing, but also the way you present yourself in these videos with both multi-screen, and sound overlays at times. I've never understood (technically) how to do that.
But y'know what buddy? YOU have got me wanting to learn how! I have some decent recording kit now, and am going to TRY teach myself to do something similar using that and my iMac. Time will tell, but don't hold your breath awaiting my first such video...I suspect it might take me quite a while! lol
Mate, this post was brilliant and I totally enjoyed it. Thanks for continuing to entertain us in 2019.

Thanks, Dave! I really appreciate your kind comments! I think from the start I was interested in learning how to incorporate harmony (and other instrumentation) in my ukulele videos, so that was plenty of incentive to learn how to use GarageBand, the audio editing software in Mac. And then for editing visuals, I first started on iMovie, then moved to Final Cut Express. These programs seemed daunting at first, but I learned a little bit at a time. There's a ton of tutorial stuff on YouTube related to using these programs. The more editing techniques you learn, the more it opens up the imagination to try different kinds of stuff, and I love the creative challenge. Another bonus is that it makes collaboration possible, since you can combine audio and video from different participants.

John, your 2019 videos are going strong, one topping another! Keep them coming!
John,
Great rendition of another '70s classic. More than four decades later and lyrics still seem timely. Thank you for sharing.
