- Only Ukes is Shannon Smith Monk (vintage Silvertone baritone ukulele) & Joe Dan Boyd (Mele 8-string baritone ukulele) perform this old gospel song at Monk Monastery Studio on Aug. 27, 2013. This is a re-recording necessitated by a technical failure at the original performance on Aug. 17, 2013 @ Tinney Chapel Praise & Gospel Concert..
Thank you, Walter. I know how much this old song must mean to you as well as to me. May God continue to bless you, my great friend.
Thanks for sharing this great old hymn !! Love the 8 string uke !! - Brother Floyd
A flood of memories
beautiful indeed
Thank you, Floyd, we love the bell tones of this Mele 8-string uke. It's built in Hawaii by Mele of a fancy mahogany and a koa wood top, all solid. Its 19" scale length makes it a baritone, but Mele advertises it to be used also as an "extended tenor uke." We have compromised, using tenor strings (custom made by Ken Middleton in England) and B-flat tuning which means we put a capo on the 2nd fret for this great old hymn to do it in C which seems best for Shannon's incredible voice. Again, thanx.
Great job!
Ken Is coming t Richmond in Nov. for our Virginia Uke Fest-How expensive is that Mele ? - FLOYD
Floyd, I forgot to reference your query about cost of the Mele, which was maybe halfway between $900 and $1,000, as I recall, including a hard case. It was the most I had ever paid outright for any ukulele, although I have some that I bought years ago which are now valued higher than the cost of that Mele. Shannon thinks it has a distinctive sound, which reminds her a bit of the dulcimer. I don't quite get that myself, but I do love the sound and the feel. It is pretty much my go-to instrument, replacing my vintage Gibson baritone uke in that regard.
Great song. I'm a new uke player and I was wondering Shannon what is the right hand pattern you're using? Thanks, Pastor Mike
