Hmmm, a bit of a change from my Friday routine. It's been a hell of a week. I thought I would shok you and the world by giving you a little Jake.
Jake Shimabukuro has been taking the world by storm with his ukelele playing. Since 2002, he has released 10 albums, played with notables like Bette Midler and Jimmy Buffet, and has done more for the ukelele since Tiny Tim. I was shocked the first time I had heard some of his compositions, and his covers were amazing. Here are a few for you.
First off, a great cover of The Beatles' While my Guitar Gently Weeps. Killer stuff.
And finally, a live version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. That's right, I almost detest Live versions of songs. The leveling is usually off, the sound reproduction is horrible. However, this was awesome. I almost felt there. Plus, the Uke is made of Hawaiian Koa wood. How cool is that?
Enjoy your friday, keikis. Aloha and Mahalo!
