There are people who play the ukulele - there are quite a lot of those;
There are talented people who play the ukulele - there are quite a few of those;
There are very talented people who play the ukulele - they are even thinner on the ground;
Then there are people like Zahra Lowzley.
Please watch and listen and prepare to be amazed...
This was N'Ukefest 2014, Nantwich, England, at the weekend. I wasn't able to be there, had to be somewhere else... and I know I missed a fabulous weekend, of which this was undoubtedly the highlight... Wow and double-wow....
That may have been Zahra's first festival appearance, but I'm very sure it won't be her last!

Ain't She Sweet, John Bianchi on Prince Wong's Martin ukulele...
Neglect - it won't do. I've never left my blog this long before.... just been so busy, busy.... but I had to share this. John Bianchi (Greenwich Village, New York) has such an individual and inspired way with these old tunes, and I swear he just gets better and better.... I'll shut up, and leave you to just listen!
Ain't She Sweet, by Milton Ager and Jack Yellen, published 1927 - that makes the song the same age as my Gibson UB2 banjo-uke....
