Seriously... these opening numbers need to be collected as an album. I'd pay $$$

[@shadowgolem9158]

Heck yeah!

[@hands_on_lanzon]

Full agree!! (*insert "Shut up and take my money" meme here) In the meantime, I've completely nerded out and compiled this Google sheet with eps, song titles, players, ukes used, and timestamped links!! It's obviously not their entire, vast catalog, but it's some of my favorites that I enjoy going back to listen to often. Hope you do too!!! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bmPXh9kECC8_fI7fqgz_aYYU70qE6CsrRROYITD2Fuc/edit?usp=sharing

[@laurab1533]

[@buzzstankos8532]

Amazing new ukuleles from Anuenue! Corey, Kalei and Neal are pure magic. I knew that Anuenue instruments were going to just keep getting better and this group is proof! It is an honor & privilege and listen to you folks. Aloha

[@christinetaylor2156]

Brilliant playing as always. If I’m ever in Hawaii I would love to meet you guys and spoil myself with a Hawaiian made uke. Love from Australia ❤

[@mxm7593]

I do to talk to my ukuele(s) too, but never got THAT 💥💥💥kind of response out of it ;-) What a privilege to listen to you guys! Completely flabbergasted and inspired to PLAY PLAY PLAY 🤩🤩🤩. Come back online more often, Dr. Chin! Never stop playing, Corey + Kalei! Andrew: Keep them doing it, please! You all are such a sunshine in each ukuele players life💫💫💫

[@margareteasthope9825]

Dr. Chin makes the season merry and bright. Everyone sounded great as did the instruments🙏

[@sleepyjohnnie]

The way y’all groove together is beautiful.

[@krysiabamford1624]

[@margielandis2015]

Oh my, o holy night, was nothing short of cosmic and magical. Mahalo,

[@seetsusan]

[@scottstahl8047]

Marvelous! Wonderful sounds! Thanks for the early Christmas gift!!! 🎉❤

[@markandaudge]

Awesome stuff guys.

[@ukuleleprojecthawaii]

That second verse from Kalei in O Holy Night 🤯

[@rbtgreene]

Really, just off the cuff, lets play?! Wow, you guys rock!

[@ukulelemj]

I loveeeee this

[@billharris7938]

I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one who though Carol of the Bells was going to be the James Bond theme!

[@hands_on_lanzon]

I was kinda feeling 'Lovesong' by The Cure =)

[@davidhardy879]

“Mele Kalikimaka” to my brothers in Hawaii !!!! We are all BLESSED to have you !!

[@scrambledeggspdx]

I absolutely KNEW Corey was going to be excited for the NY accent the moment I heard it from Neal 🤣

[@christinetaylor2156]

Kalei’s laugh always makes me smile 😃

[@RogueCorps]

Way to make a Christmas medly sound like James Bond guys. 😅

[@hands_on_lanzon]

Did anyone else feel like Andrew mentioning the new customs, then ending the show, was like playing that note one step down from the chord enclosure and not playing the root?! Gimme that resolution!!!! 🥲 *takes a deep breath. Just a teaser for the next ep I guess. Can't wait!

[@ukenkamaka]

Neal's back ! 🤙

[@mikek4708]

Just what I needed after 2weeks of work and stress. Great to see Neil back and such a tight performance, great recording as always. May I ask, when recording, do you guys have a preference on headsets?. Thanks again and have a Uketastic week and all the best for the festive season.

[@mikejungle]

Neal's face: O-o Come on. I've been trying to figure out/learn "Black Orpheus" for a decade. It was sampled in a Korean Hip Hop song I liked, but I could never figure out where it was from. Thanks Neal, for scratching that itch. fyi: Uptown - Casanova (1999)

[@GaryGotori-xx6ch]

Neal’s mad skills on that Anuenue concert! That picking pattern is insane. And of course the three Corey, Kalei, and Neal killing it, mele Kalikimaka Andrew da bes content. See you guys at NAMM????

[@Longash2k9]

Mahalo for Carol of the Bells!!! Ono kine!!! Chicken skin!! Auwe!

[@bellsnewpy1043]

Neals in the haus :)

[@Mayank-vc2jv]

😍😍

[@scrambledeggspdx]

Since you were coming up with licks and stuff during Carol of the Bells, I'd like to also point out that is follows a really similar chord progression to Dido's Thank You, or Stan by Eminem!

[@markossrarkos2729]

pretty nice uke, but it is no special mahogany, its "Swietenia mahagoni" also used in low/mid price range ukes.
