WS64 || Electric White Christmas

WS64 || Theme from "Timm Thaler"

Wolfgang's playing is always inspirational. This performance is making my UAS act up. Someday I will have an electric uke. WS64's Eleuke playing is so crisp and smooth.

WS64 Haunting Guitalele Sounds || Scarborough Fair

I think the haunting sound comes from the microphone system. Our friend WS64 continues to WOW us with his skill. I hope the yellow border I chose will not over camoflauge the production. PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY & THYME on a Yamaha Guitalele

SHELLY RICKEY 2

Tonight I was feeling a bit of melancholy and decided to take a look at some of my favorite YT peoples. First I went to WS64 - wow what a talent. If you haven't seen him then you haven't been looking hard enough. Then I went to the dynamic duo of ukulele, Bosko & Honey of course, and came across them playing with The Uke Box: Shelley & Marko.

.

I like this video in so many ways. Shelly has quite a delicious voice, yes delicious. Marko plays a very simple plastic homemade bass and it has a great sound. Honey is always her cute sweet self and she's playing a Berkeley uke maker Michael DaSilva handmade Lotus Tenor. Bosko is, as always, the gentleman performer.

Shelly describes her new creation, in great and loving detail. And then she sings again...

SHELLY'S FIRST CIGAR BOX UKULELE

WS64 Strikes again: Star Trek Themes on Ukulele

From the master musician WS64,

FINGERS DANCING

WS64 is an exellent musician and a prolific poster of music on YouTube. His fingers and chord changes move so eloquently that I probably will never get anywhere near handling any of his arrangements. Each time I see his videos I always wish that he also tablature for the song. The Cheers and Raindrops below both have closeups due to his artistic placement of the video camera. I posted the "I believe in Father Christmas" because I grew up listening to my older (step) brother Douglas Lindroos' favorite groups. He lived in San Gabriel, near LA, the center of his musical world, and gave me a love for his favorites: Yes and Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Then watch wwelti's (Wilfried Welti from Germany) fingers on La Vie En Rose. I asked Wilfried how long he's been playing the uke. He said 3 years and 4 months and the guitar a couple of years before that. I also asked him about counting out the timing of each bar (when there's a variety of notes, including dotted notes.) He said that there's always counting but as you become more familiar with the tune the counting takes less attention (coming more naturally with the flow of the song.)

At the end I have Jonathan K Millers version of Mr. Grinch, it is a wonderful version
