This is an original ukulele instrumental that I wrote.  The video was recorded the day that I came up with the initial melody for the song.  Tsani and I were at summer camp with the Boy Scouts and decided to head up to a scenic waterfall and shoot some ukulele videos.  We got a lot of great footage, but the waterfall was so loud that you could not hear the ukes.  I held on to the the footage with the idea that I would dub in the music later, but now I can't remember what songs I played, so the whole thing seemed kind of pointless.:-)  
  After working on "Summer Camp" for a number of months and getting a decent recording of it, the video footage I had seemed like a suitable back drop for you to watch while listening to the tune that was born on the same day.  Orignally, I had lyrics in mind, but, while the music came together nicely, the lyrics did not.  So, they were cut but the instrumental remains.  Enjoy.

The ukulele in the video is a concert sized Kala made of laminated Koa.  The ukuleles you hear are a Kamaka baritone ukulele with Aquila strings on rhythm and a Kamaka Tenor with D'addario Hawaiian Style strings on lead.  Both are gold label vintage made sometime between 1954 and 1969.
