This piece is based on a chord-progression I used for an earlier piece (Rhumba Don't Slumber). This offering has an entirely different melody, the pitch is up two semitones, the electric guitar is gone and I swapped the nylon-string guitar for the ukulele.

Thanks, OM. Glad you liked it. You might like the remix even more (added strings) Duke of Uke (remix)

Gosh, Ghostgum, I really like this one! Very nice melody. I listened to your remix and the strings came out very well. Cool ending and really catchy title!

Yes those strings add a lot! Super melody and backing band. Extremely well mixed. Two thumbs up

Nice work on the ukulele! I also like the way the electric piano soloist seamlessly takes over.

Rob Yes, Rob, I like it too. The first time I added strings they ended in bar 20. This version takes them into the next bar, where the EP has already begun. I must add that I am so impressed with these Real Tracks. They bring an indispensable richness and an ambience to the whole process.

Hi Brian ...
Benn away for quite a while until recently. Missed your music! I don't think I've ever heard one from you that wasn't top shelf. And this one is equally well done. I'm impressed with the smooth transition of the lead instruments - really nice!
I didn't get a chance to hear it before you added the strings ... but they sure do sound good! Thanks for another great listen ...

What jumped out to me was the strings; delicate and sweet. So I scrolled back up to see how you included them but they weren't mentioned. I thought, that's odd, did I really hear them. Then I noticed you did a remix . . . light bulb Very nice and very professional. Great job.

Nicely done, Brian. I don't think it would occur to me to use a ukulele as a lead instrument (It had a nylon guitar tone to it - which I guess "makes sense").
Nice mix.

Benn away for quite a while until recently. Missed your music!
Alan You have not missed much, Alan. I've had nothing to contribute to the forum for several months too (not for health reasons but to finish some writing projects). Glad you liked this little tune.

Previously, I've only strummed the uke but recently I came across YT videos where people played them fingerstyle or picked out melodies. I thought I would give it a try.

...the strings... weren't mentioned. Sorry! I forgot to add that the strings (Symphonic Strings Trad) from Reason 11, were added via my Korg K61p midi keyboard.
