The best damn ukulele player ever
I have a review of Jake Shimabukuro's CD coming up in the Daily News ... but here's a taste of him playing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," on solo ukulele. It's on YouTube ... you know, that now-Google-owned Web site all the kids are using to upload videos of them stuffing raisins in their noses ... or whatever it is they do for kicks these days.
Seriously ... the coolest thing about YouTube is that it makes the viral part of "viral videos" work so easily -- you can e-mail a simple piece of code, or paste it into a blog post, and you needn't be a super genius to get video on your page. Seriously, if I can do it, your grandpappy can do it.
That said, GET THIS CD ... because it totally, completely rocks, in an acoustic-ukulele kind of way. It's only $15. Throw the kid a bone, know what I mean?
