Music For The Soul

.

Mentioning the word Ukulele tends to induce images of campy spoofs. You'll have a complete change of mind while watching this video of Jake Shimabukuro so lovingly and adeptly playing his version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

Watching this virtuoso performing alone on a rocky outcrop in Central Park made me cry: what beauty, what sincerity!
It demonstrated once again, that any instrument or medium can be transformed by masterful handling.
