As many of you know I have an alter-ego. I am ukulele-ist.
I have met some very cool folks while performing at uke events. Like this guy - Patsy (Patrick) Montelone. Patsy is from NYC, started his singing career at the age of three in 'Little Italy', he now lives near Philadelphia. He is a favorite on the E. Coast uke scene. He has the ability to find very cool old songs, resurrect them and put his stamp on them.
We collaborated on this tune last spring. Now it's finally on his website. Patsy sings and plays the uke. I play guitar, bass and my bakelite Rick in C6.
It's an old tune that was covered by Gene Autry and Frank Sinatra - to name a few.
Very Cool, Gerald! I'm running out of bookmark space!<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Terry Farmer on 27 October 2006 at 01:17 PM.]</p></FONT>
Wow!! What a demo of how much added flavor and body a mere lap steel can add to a simple rendition when it is played by a
talented guy who knows what he is doing.
you guys should hear billy wilson play the uke . plays not only hawaiian but every other kind of music. and then gets on the steel and does the same thing. great pianist too. san francisco bay areas best kept secret. he is a vance terry protegee on steel. 6'7" teddy bear. also has his own band called motor dude zedeco where he plays accordian and bass check him out sometime.
