Nice!

But I thought the first song was going to be an Edgar Winter Group cover!

Hawaiian Justin Young with then FLAME Colbie Caillat. Some non musical tension/chemistry.

11 years later, she's still playing a Uke!

James Hill, again, this time with wife, who doesn't get her fair share of the PA for her electric cello. Tunes: Billy Jean with a sort of atonal spoken word thing going for a bit; then a Bluegrass type tune kicks in at about 7:11.

Very talented guy, plays a wide variety of string instruments and makes some very interesting music choices for his videos

 

[JohnW63]

Makes me want to actually learn to play the Uke I have.

Jack Johnson




Same tune with Jake Shimabukuro, slight HipHop feel




Teaches same tune to an Aussie reporter (very lengthy and hokey exposition)

 

[Canard]

Watermelon Mam, Candyce Narimatsu!




Herbie for comparison - no ukes involved, though







Things go better with Kala

 

[JohnW63]

That's a cool rendition!
