Amanda Palmer - The Ukulele Anthem (Occupy Wall Street 10/12 NYC)

I'd never heard this, and never heard of Amanda Palmer until I saw CountryMouse's rendition the other week. But this lady is pretty impressive! I just love the passion for the ukulele, the words, the gutsy delivery and the sheer youthful energy and exuberance! Another ukulele hero (heroine?) indeed. I just love it!

The chords are easy, but those words'll take some learning!

A Country Mouse meets Amanda Palmer! Sort-of.....

I hadn't heard of Amanda Palmer until I happened across a Youtube video of a lady doing her number "Ukulele Anthem". I loved the song, and I loved the way that "CountryMouse" puts it over - not raunchy, just simply - and a really pleasant voice. Lucky her! She actually reminds me of Joni Mitchell!

It turns out that Amanda Palmer has seen it, too - and likes it! She tweeted as much...... now there's something really refreshing and heart-warming about this story. Two new ukulele heroes for me - and I'm Amanda Palmer's latest fan!

Thank you, CountryMouse...and keep 'em comin'! I don't do videos - not yet...I like your style!
