Ukelele? Amazing!

[wesh]

hi there jay and fellow losties,

I'm not a musician or anything, but I always tought ukeles (wiki: The ‘ukulele (pronounced /ʔukulele/, or the Anglicised /ˌjukəˈleɪli/), or uke, is a fretted string instrument which is, in its construction, essentially a smaller, four-stringed version of the guitar.) sound horrible, but the guy in the following video extracts some amazing sounds from it!
Tought you (and others) might appreciated it too, so check this out:

Technically speaking I could play that if i could get the music for it. I dont have a ukelele though, I only play one when I visit my aunt she has a Uke and I love the Uke sound.

That guy came to Raleigh a week ago, I almost went but I didnt go.

Ah? cool stuff man! Is he like a famous ukelele player that tours around or something? If not, cool coincidence that he was in Raleigh

This was on a Dutch weblog once, and it's great. I would love to be able to play guitar like that. But I never take the time to do it. And of course, I'd have to buy some talent from somewhere as well.

I hear Jay is selling nice little tidbits of talent. You actually get two packs of guitar flavoured talents when you buy a Jesus Stick.
It might be a hoax

(and yup got that clip from a dutch blog )

[heyes]

Wow! That's spectacular! I could listen to that all day! ^_^

That song rules. I could sing it from beginning to end (if I could sing, that is...)

Anybody know how old the dude is?

[wesh]

No clue. Maybe Jay could enlighten

He is 28 or 29 I belive, I just read an article about him in the paper.
