I wish I was a professional videographer, or had some sense of setting, but I don't, darn it. I hope the bathroom's not too distracting, it's the one in the basement, for those curious, the fan is an old "Broan", the toilet is a Toto, and the sink fixtures are "Glacier Bay". I forget the maker of the bathrobe hanging, it's vintage though.
Thank you, and please enjoy the song. I even wrote it. |

| Neal, great stuff. It's nice to see someone use the ukulele as a "vehicle" for original music. Too many people are stuck playing only "ukulele" music. Being a guitar player and mainly a fingerpicker I also use my ukes for original material. Keep up the good work!

Neal this is great- Wondering how you tune the taro patch. Are they tuned all double same pitched unlike the 8 string uke which has some octave tuned strings?
I was just reading on a mandolin thread that you use an open F tuning?

| Have not used the open F for a very long time, too limiting. This is tuned standard, unison, one step down. Gives the taro a fuller sound. So, instead of gCEA, fBbGD. And thank you for listening.

And no artificial digital reverb pedal either. The original, vintage, "natural" reverb of a bathroom.
Years ago (e.g., 45 of 'em) I fell in with a bunch of fellow musicians who really ticked off the fellow residents of our Civil War-era dorm, when we'd fill the bathroom with recording gear (Ampeg deck for 3/4" tape), mixing board, amps, music stands, cables and instruments for recording "natural reverb," while pretty much occupying all useable space for other, regular, bathroom activities.
