While My Ukulele Gently Weeps

So, a week later, and cyberinsekt's tunes are still ukulele based.

Had to share this, as it's not often you hear a ukulele being played this well (or at least I never had), it's amazing:

He's clearly got it all wrong, he's playing it well!

Here it is again on youtube:
