Well, you know JIm - not quite got "that sound" has he - no amp, no echo unit, no pleck (he should have asked Alan "Birthday Boy" Bakewell), missing two strings, ukelele wrong colour. I could go on but you'd shoot me!!
Seriously, I love these different 'takes' on Shads tunes, especially classic ones like Apache and this is superbly played with effortless style.
LOved it.
cheers

come to think of it, the ONLY Apache cover I have heard that made me cringe was that awful Dutch (I think it was) group with the terrible Pans People type dancers prancing about.

He certainly looked like Robin Williams. That was my first thought as I watched. He seemed to enjoy himself and it wasn't a bad version either. Len
