The best of the week’s uke performances over the fold – including an earth-shattering performance by Tessie O’Shea and Jake coming over all Spinal Tap.
Tessie O’Shea – Two Ton Tessie from Tennessee
James Hill – Ode To A Frozen Boot
Live at DaSilva Ukulele Co.
Mark Occhionero – When You’re Smiling
He’s also done a video and tab for this song.
James Ward – Rain Until September
He’s uploaded so many outstanding videos in the past couple of weeks you have to check out his YouTube channel.
Jake Shimabukuro and Char – Lick My Love Pump
A discussion and jam in D minor – the saddest of all keys.
Jacob Borshard – You’re In Love Again
Alika – Are You That Somebody
We didn’t have Aaliyah covers when we were on bus trips, we only ever had 10 Green Bottles.
The James Hill video was taken by Mike DaSilva at the Santa Cruz Ukulele Club meeting. James also played the same song at Mike DaSilvas Studio about 3-4 days before. I know because I went to both events — I had my chance to see James play live and wanted to enjoy it while he was in California. JH is working on a 3-music workbook series that features the uke as a means to teaching music.
