Wow! I am speechless. That was one of the most powerful "unplugged" performances I've ever come across. Just as I thought I was out of GAS now I need to go get a ukulele of all things... Why did you have to post that!!!

Both these guys are amazing - if they perform in your town, you must see them.

Bumping this old thread for our new members. Just watched & listened to this clip again and can't help but feel its an amazing amazing AMAZING performance by two masters who also happen to have great chemistry. Did I mention its amazing? You've got to watch it now!

And here's another video by Jake. For me, this is summarizes what it means to be at the top of your game and yet have the most pleasant character and stage persona ever possible. Can't have enough of his style and presence. Way to go Jake!!!

I agree!! Jake is a total master musician.

I treated myself to a Uke for christmas and I highly recommend this DVD:

The uke is really cool. And that is mastery of an instrument. Laughing at the GAS comment. Elantric - where do you put all this stuff?

If I got one, I would sound more like Tiny Tim.

On Tommy - his version of somewhere over the rainbow for me shows his real skill - its not just jut fast, it simply amazing, I can sit there and listen to it for hours - those vibratos on a Maton steel string acoustic - I wish I could get in the BALLPARK!
