That glass-shattering high note that Minnie Riperton sings is impossible for most people, but I found a ukulele solution. Hope you like it.

You did a really great job with this song.

Very very nice as usual John.:)I would like
to see your picking/strum hand a little
better tho.:)

Hey John,

Good job! I was curious to know how you were going to get around the falsetto part.... good job!

Congratulations, another A, you've made the honours roll.

Nice and easy does it, John. Nice work with voice and uke.

Thanks so much! I'm glad I gave this song a try. I was happy with the way it turned out!

That was great John! I liked the rhythmic strum sound and the high part.

By the way, what kind of uke is that?

Dang, I feel left out - I gotta figger out how to get YouTube at work some way...
Posted By: John Pak Date: 7/28/2008 10:26:07 AM
Thanks, Gerald! The uke is a Kanilea tenor soundmonster, which I bought from the Incredible Bulk himself!!

John that was wonderful. I like how you did those high notes. I also want to study that sweet strum you have. Uke sounded great. Very smooth on the vocals. I like this song & your singing.

Bulk, there is a way to get around the work computer limitations. Are you on a laptop with wireless capabilities, or do you have a wireless card or built in wireless connection if it's a desktop?

Before you get around the work computer limitations, review your employment contract or your attorney. Better to keep the job than to get around anything. IMHO.
Posted By: Diane1020 Date: 7/28/2008 1:42:50 PM
That's good advice singndance. I probably should stay out of it.

Beautiful. I hae always liked that song. Good singing & playing!!
Posted By: MR Bulk Date: 7/28/2008 10:22:30 PM

Nevermind guys (and gals), I am now at home and did indeed get to see/hear it. Great production as usual John, but I kinda felt cheated not hearing you strain for them high notes, hee hee!

But certainly good uke playin' to cover that high vocal riff!
Posted By: Portland Uke Date: 8/4/2008 12:00:11 PM
You are the complete package. I think you have a great voice.
Posted By: John Pak Date: 8/4/2008 12:21:01 PM
Wow, thanks guys! Charlie, I think I would have hurt myself trying for that high note. Ha ha!
