Thanks turtlehead. I agree - I've learned good songs and gotten good ideas from many folks on CBN.

Sweetness.  Don't think I've heard this either - it's a good one and you play it like it was written on that uke.  I love hearing great songs for the first time on homemade stuff.  It's one of my favorite things about this place.

Thanks Nancy! Yup, the cold blast has hit us and the wood stove is fired up with the fans a twirlin'. Tonights even colder so a toddy and some fiddle playin' might warm me up.

Thanks Sammy! I sort of assumed that an Elton John song would be familiar to folks on your side of the pond. Guess it all depends.

Thanks Wes.

Thanks Ted and Steve - you're right the tone gets changed with a hole so I'm leaving it as is.

masterful Jim, love that Baritone Uke, what a sweet sound and just lovely singing. Never heard the song but loved it right from the start. Fabulous

Great playing, singing and sound....Do Not add sound hole. Sounds Great as is. I believe the sound hole will change the sound. and most times not for the best.  Use your intuition.  Great Job.
