I just discovered this one tonight. I have no idea who shot it. It's backstage at the Milwaukee Uke Fest last month. Aaron Keim on bass (from the Boulder Acoustic Society) and my buddies Jon Prown on rhythm uke and Brian Hefferan on lead uke.
Very loose, just playing around.

| Mighty nice Gerald. When was that done ? Your bass player has sideburns reminiscent of the sixties...plays nice upright bass. |

Thanks guys. This was filmed six weeks ago - September 26, 2009 at the Milwaukee Ukulele Festival in Wisconsin where I was performing and teaching.
This is not my band. It's an impromptu jam. The bass player and the rhythm uke player were my backup band for the show and I was teaching them the song. We performed it on stage a half hour after this shot.

Very nice Ross. The Fender Champion sounds great with the new pickup. Don't you just love how light it is?  |

Thanks Andy. The Champion is only steel I will travel with now. It's feather-weight and will not shatter when it hits the floor like my Bakelites hopefully will never experience. Plus it's got the vintage macho vibe that gear heads love.

| Nice, Gerald! You really sound great there. I can really hear a change in your steel playing from a few years back. Great swing playing. |
