Aw, shucks Mister JT, that shore means a whole lot coming from you, with your bonafide musical credentials.

I followed the word “ukulele” over here from Pharyngula. I am glad I did.

This song works ridiculously well with a ukulele.

Very nice! Never quote got over the “singing and playing at the same time” hump – not that you’d want to hear my voice – and I’m always impressed by those who do… (or walk and chew bubble gum, or pat their head and rub their stomach, etc.)
I saw what I’m pretty sure was this young lady at a Jonathan Coulton concert a few years ago – https://www.youtube.com/user/sweetafton23?feature=watch – he’d dragged her along after she’d gotten popular covering one of his songs on the ukelele (I think it was Still Alive, actually). She also did a very entertaining rendition of “Toxic”.

I can now kinda-sorta fake my way through “Hallelujah”! I love playing the Ukulele almost as much as I love listening to you play it!
