I started playing, with the intention of just recording the song "Old Folks At Home", but a few other tunes got tagged on the end. However, this is really just a test video for the Fishman Matrix Infinity active pickup system that I have recently installed in this uke (Ohana TK-35CG). The tone and volume controls are inside the sound hole.
There's also "Smash The Windows', the intro to "Feeling Groovy" and a little bit of "Annie's Song". I also play a few bars of Edelweiss, but forget how it goes and completely lost it.
Stephen Foster's song "Old Folks At Home" ("Swanee River") was written in 1851.
This is my living room and the tiger belongs to my grand-daughter, Holly.
