I 've never heard anything like this before...

The World: Global Hit

There are many good reasons to listen to NPR - one of the best is their program 'The World' and it's 'Global Hits' segment.

I want you all to click on this link and listen to Jake Shimabukuro play the ukulele and his amazing version of George Harrison's 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' I was absolutely amazed by this...4 strings, 2 octaves - pretty amazing...

I never knew you could play stuff like this on a ukulele.

Bravo!

Jake is awesome! I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live several times when I lived in Hawaii. His fingers move so fast!

Hi Lori,

Love your blog - (Virtual Lori)

Thanks for the comment....yes I was really amazed I am glad as I was driving I did not have to get out of the car or stop anywhere - his playing was mesmerizing - I have to get some of his CDs - he is reminiscent to me of Stanley Clark.
