    As a humble member of the Derby Ukeleli club, I am enthralled, Wow who could have imagined such beautiful music from such a small instrument,. :-)

    I was at that concert! I used to watch Jake when I was stationed with the Navy on Oahu.
    He was only in his 20s and starting to get really big. He would play at the local outdoor strip mall in Hawaii Kai, and at Brunch on the Beach in Waikiki. My daughter, who was 5-6 years old, had a little "crush" on him, and drew the cutest picture of him with the glasses that he used to wear. (To this day, I wish I could find that picture! 😅)

    i saw this guy live at the Stoughton Opera House in Stoughton, Wisconsin. And it was by far the best concert, he is such a show man, and can evoke all these emotions onto the audience. 10/10

    This cat has been amazing my ears for over 10 years now. First heard him play when I lived in Hawaii, and I was stopped dead in my tracks. Best thing is you can see how much he loves doing his thing! My son has started playing again, I hope he keeps it up, I love the Uke!

    Um....that was...THE GREATEST THING I EVER SAW IN MY LIFE! Bohemian Rhapsody is my favorite song of all time, and I'm very hard to please when it comes to Queen covers. Bohemian Rhapsody is an extremely hard song no matter which position you choose to cover. To do all of it with one instrument is simply outstanding.

    Holy CRAP! One of the most epic songs EVER, played by the most EPIC uke player in the modern age.
    I seriously almost stood and applauded my flipping computer monitor.
    DAMN.
    That was just plain phenomenal. Wow.

    And Also Jake Shimabukuro is the MOST amazing Uke Player to come out of Hawaii in a long time. and all the other GODS are already dead.
    I listen to Rap Rock Country and Reggae, and yet there is something about the sound of the UKE that gets me still to this day!!!!

    What can I say? I've been a Queen fan boy for 30+years, and also Jake fan. I know he completed the arrangement while touring in Japan, but this way exceeded my expectation! I need to dump my incomplete arrangement, indeed ;)
