I've of course always loved Bohemian Rhapsody, but hearing this version, stripped of the operatic hard rock of the Queen version, I am really moved by what a beautiful piece of music composition it is -- almost has a 1920's feel to it.

There's me feeling really proud at the fact that I can play the basic version of Bohemian Rhapsody, and then there's him. *I really gotta up my game.*

I can't help it, I hear Freddie Mercury in my head, and I'll bet most of you do too. Cheers

Absolutely unreal! Playing a rock symphony through a uke…. 🤯🤯🤯. Well done!

It is the musician that makes the music, the instrument is just the medium. Paint isn't art, the artist makes it art. This man is the song.
