When you're feeling low, there's nothing like music to soothe the mind... many would reach for alcohol, but for me it has to be music, and this rendition of "Georgia On My Mind" (Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell, 1930) by John Bianchi on his vintage Martin ukulele is just perfect, like warm sunshine on the soul.
His playing here is just sublime, to my mind, and his voice is perfect for these great songs from the 20's and 30's. He is so talented, so accomplished, he really should be a big star. How many times have I said that now? My very favourite uke and banjo-uke performer, without a doubt.
Please enjoy....then pop over to his blog, The Ukaholic.
Oh - and Happy New Year! Thanks for dropping by.....
That is delightful. That Uke has a beautiful tone but it's most certainly in the right hands. Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
