Ukulele Magic, a Sonata

Posted on | December 19, 2008 | 1 Comment

A new composition titled, Ukulele Sonata, inspired by the possibilities of alternate finger picking on a soprano ukulele, especially with the top string being strung an octave higher it almost has an upside down effect and stimulates the ear into thinking there is a whole lot more going on.
