My late partner and I visited New York on a mid week break, from the UK. We were so excited... like a couple of country mice, in the big smokie. It was mid April 2006 and we were doing all the touristy things in the 'Big Apple.' Exhausted we found ourselves in Central Park, near the Dakota Hotel and lay on the grass looking up at a very blue, Spring sky... I wish I could have bottled that moment... This rendition of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps...' brings back that snap-shot in time...

THIS is the video that destroyed my ignorant “Tiny Tim” (from the ‘70s) stereotype of the ukulele as a legitimate and versatile instrument. I saw Jake live not long after seeing this-over a 100 concerts in my lifetime; NEVER have I been so blown away by a performing artist! I am a guitarist; I am now a ukulele player, trying desperately to play catch-up for all the lost years that I snubbed this wonderful instrument…😐
