Just beautiful, really.

Cripes! That made me cry.

Un-frigging-believable! This guy could probably make a mouth-harp sound good.

Wow. I can't believe how good that guy is. While you're there be sure to check out Selections from Caprice No.24 and Toastmaker's Revenge on the Sunday Morning CD and When You're Down on the Crosscurrent CD.

They're classical ukelele, speed metal ukelele, and blues ukelele. Just freaking incredible.

It's a particularly beautiful song to begin with, but his interpretation makes me consider that it may be even more beautiful on an instrument that's as delicate as a ukelele. Which is kind of impressive.

Really refreshing. Too bad we'll never hear it on the airwaves. :(

You can get it without the ads at http://www.ukuleledisco.com/jake, which is the site for the public-access show he recorded it for.

Un. Freaking. Believable.

One of the most moving musical renditions I've ever heard. Of anything.

Thanks, Bill.
