Michelle Blades Performance

Here's a young and creative talent. Her videos are of an ambidextrious nature. Her vocals, chord and fingerstyle playing are all unique. Also I believe she's playing a Tenor Ukulele in this video and several other videos she's playing a Baritone. This video can be watched in HD and it great to watch full screen too.

More Michelle Blades

She's a unique and ambidextrous player? Some videos are lefty and some righty. I am a lefty who plays righty - so I notice these things.

Hey another Baritone!

Fine print for me ONLY (Go to Ukulele Hunt and read the interview)
Since I usually improv the stuff, I think Kerouac said it best when he created the “rules” for spontaneous prose. Here’s a few that would answer the question:
2. Submissive to everything, open, listening
5. Something that you feel will find its own form
6. Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind
8. Write what you want bottomless from bottom of the mind
9. The unspeakable visions of the individual
10. No time for poetry but exactly what is
12. In tranced fixation dreaming upon object before you
13. Remove literary, grammatical and syntactical inhibition
17. Write in recollection and amazement for yourself
19. Accept loss forever
21. Struggle to sketch the flow that already exists intact in mind
22. Dont think of words when you stop but to see picture better
24. No fear or shame in the dignity of yr experience, language & knowledge
25. Write for the world to read and see yr exact pictures of it
28. Composing wild, undisciplined, pure, coming in from under, crazier the better
29. You’re a Genius all the time
