Our good friend Andrea dropped by today for some coffee, biscuits, friendly banter, and a bit of music making. I threw this challenging tune (“Bistro Fada”) at her, and without bating an eyelash, Andrea took the challenge and immediately started learning how to play it on ukulele. She had never heard that tune before, but amazingly was super quick to pick up the harmony and the rhythm, Playing this tune together, even as a first stab (with lots of stop-go moment, which is normal and to be expected even with most seasoned musicians), I was pleasantly surprised at how beautifully the two sister instruments meshed and sounded. I just love the ringing sound that ukulele and semi-hollow electric guitar make together.
More sweet sounding duet playing to come…
