The Most Amazing Thing I've Ever Seen

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps," ukelele version. No joke. Courtesy of PJ.

Also, i added another new link: Overheard in Law School. These are things law students have overheard in law school, although not necessarily the UW law school. I hope you guys get a kick out of these.

Holy shit. That's fucking amazing. Kudos to Pj for finding it. Why the hell doesn't that kid have a record deal or something?? Oh yeah...he has talent.

I love that guy. You'll hate me, yes, but I have seen Mr. Shimabukuro LIVE.

He played with Jimmy Buffet. I told you it didn't suck. He started the evening off with a ukelele version of Star Spangled Banner if my memory serves me. Fucking sweet.

Mr. Shimabukuro does, in fact, have a record deal. Check out his official webpage. He's actually released several albums, and has toured, as ryan noted, with Jimmy Buffet and (more respectably) with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

While it would be awesome to see that guy live, it would still be not awesome to see Jimmy Buffet. Margaritaville can suck my ass.

Thanks, Andy. I didn't have time to check it out before class, but have since remedied that. I'm glad that musical talent in this case has resulted in some modicum of success, even if it is touring with the Son of a Son of Sailor himself. Now, if you'll excuse me, "I'm going for a scuttle!" (aka class)

That really is totally sweet. I also like Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow...

I feel like such a ukelele connoisseur haha
