There's just something fun about a ukelele. Maybe it's the lighter sound of four strings. Or maybe it's the phrase used for tuning, that most ukelele players know-- it sounds better with music, but the words are "My dog has fleas . . . and so does yours . . ."
Whatever it is, I came across this fine-- and fun-- piece of ukelele playing, and would like to share it with you. The music artist is Darren J Claxton, from Derbyshire, Britain. Darren also has some blues and folkish vocal pieces, and has an EP recording of 5 songs on iTunes and Amazon. The title of this ukelele instrumental piece is "Smiling Eyes." Darren is a multi-instrumentalist and includes percussion in this uke song, too. I enjoyed hearing the rhythms as well as the ukelele; Darren has put in a variety of percussive sounds.
It is a lively tune; Get ready to dance, and turn this on (click on the link, in other words . . .)
SMILING EYES
The ukelele was the first stringed instrument I began to play, back when I was about 8 years old, with a little sporano uke. I have fond memories of plinking out sounds and learning a few chords. My old sporano uke is long gone, but I do have a baritone, and sometimes pull it out. How about you-- are you a ukelelian?
