Don't Try It (For It Can't Be Done) (Riley Puckett) Cover Song On Vintage Washburn Ukulele and Kazoo

I know this isn't strictly CBG related, but I know you guys like old-time music, and it's on an old time (1922) instrument, so I figured I'd post this here as well. Here's my latest goofoff. My (not worthy) version of the classic song 'Don't try it, for it can't be done'. It's been done by a few people, I'm sure, but the first version I ever heard was Riley Puckett's. I'm playing a 1922 Washburn 701 mahogany soprano Uke, and making some noise with my Wazoo (Kazoo with a horn on top) as well (my voice is definitely the poorest quality instrument involved). Enjoy, and feel free to comment (good or bad) !!

Thank you all for the kind words !!  @Jim Morris:  I agree, banjolele is always good, and maybe this is good motivation to get busy and finish my homemade (Cheesebox) reso CBG Ukulele.  And unfortunately, that's not a still on the drum, just two old flowerpots trying to struggle for little rainy day sun.  The still sounds like a better day for a rainy day, though... you're right!!  Keep watching, as I do plan to post some more vids in the near future.

Good song and excellent uke and kazoo playing. A homemade banjo uke is what this song cries out for! Dag, is that a homemade still back there on the bass drum?
