Sweet!  Song, playing and singing.  All mighty pleasin'.   I'm on Jim's fan bus.

Good whistling too.  It's a pretty small and select group who've whistled on songs on CBN.  You, me, Shane W?   Hmm.

Thanks Clock! Man, how did you know that the school right down the road from me is Springfield Green(spring) Elementary? My wife says you must have too much time on your hands and must have looked it up. I told her "no, I think he's a psycho, I mean psychic".

Good one Jim!

Good question Sammy. It started life as a 20" scale baritone uke. After rebuilding it due to damage thanks to airline baggage handlers I put appropriate classical guitar strings on to tune it GDae an octave lower than a mandolin. I like this tuning since it expands the range of available notes over the bari uke DGbe tuning. But the bari uke tuning is easier for guitar players so it's a trade off.

Well done Jim, loved it. Just curious from a novice perspective is that fine looking beast a large ukulele, if so is it a baritone scale. cheers buddy keep em coming.

Thanks Wes. Some of us have moved up and the bus just gets used for storage now! I can't play harmonica worth a durn so I thought either a kazoo or whistling would work here but I couldn't find my kazoo.
