Yes - but she doesn't have a ukulele. So it isn't art.

I know a guy who plays in a couple of bands who has a ukulele he plugs into the amp. He bears a remarkable resemblance to Graeme Garden.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

This is even better - it's a performance of "Cowboys from Hell" on a Dean "Dimebag Darrell" model ukulele. The solo is hilarious. The instrument itself is a thing of rare beauty.

That's beautiful! They harmonise well enough to be backing singers for Florence Jenkins (or, for that matter, Nick Cave).

Thanks for sharing.

Daisy, Daisy. Give me your answer do. I am half crazy. All for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage. I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet. Upon the seat. Of a bicycle built for two.
