   Just stumbled upon Welsh harpist, Catrin Finch, only a couple weeks ago, Al. There are videos of her playing with Cimarron.

   She did a BBC documentary on the harp which can be watched in one hour-long video or in separate parts. Good stuff.

   I actually found the time to watch every video this week and am very glad i did.
   Elizabeth mitchell has been a favourite of mine for a while every since ‘little bird’ was featured on futurama and that is a lovely version of froggy went a courting.
   Wilfredi welti’s bach cello suite worked impressively well on uke, if theres a tab for that i’d love to learn it myself (although i should probably just spend the money and buy john kings classical book first).
   Krabbers original was great gave that a couple of listens and really really enjoyed it as i did with ellen and carla.
   The mr nonouke was great, well the playing was great but the editing was odd. Not bad just odd.
   Also nothing suffers for the inclusion of david byrne, he is one sexy and talented man.

   Wow! Thanks for featuring my vid on UkeTube, Al! Really liked the other vids too, thanks! :-)

   cardboardfrog: A free ukulele tab for the bach cello suite minuet is available, just look at the top of this page, Al already posted them! (Thanks, Al!)

   Best Regards
   Wilfried

   Al, I really thank you for featuring my video!!! Such an honour!
   But I know, I have to improve my editing ( as my playing, but it is just the beginning!) :-)
   Best wishes

   Wilfried: Very impressive playing! I’m scared to even attempt that one.

   Nonouke: Loved the video. I’ve never even attempted editing so you’re ahead of me.

   Peter: It’s a lovely, lovely, lovely horse.

   We love the horse! We love all the videos. Such lovely company to be in. Thanks Al!

   WIUO: Always a pleasure to have a new WIUO video.

    another UkeTube where I pretty much dug all of them.

    always good to see Krabbers and Wilfried in the mix. a new video from the WIUO is likewise a treat. and a solo video from Peter Brooke Turner?! excellent.

    I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the Froggy Went A Courtin’ video. both the music and the video itself. I’m probably just too used to seeing the song spoofed in cartoons and such.

    thanks for including my video in the crop!

    Don’t where else to post this, but is this Macca rocking a uke?

    One for this weeks uketube? (although to be honest I think the song’s pretty average…)

    Kempo: I thought it was pretty good. Better than I was expecting anyway. I think it’s a tenor guitar he’s playing. Which I’d be willing to overlook if the song was a bit better.

    I suppose so, I had visions of ‘Thumbs Aloft’ McCartney attempting ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’…

    …over to UU, find the thread, follow the link…

    Actually Macca’s guitar sounds pretty wild on that and it’s always good to see Grohl rip it up, I’m supposing the song is probably something they threw together, so props to ’em, I suppose they can’t write Let It Be/Everlong everyday.

    Kempo: Thanks for the link. Good for them!
