The world was blessed with this gentleman…Mahalo Ohta san

In my book there’s nobody that can play like Ohtasan. and I’m so glad he taught his son how to play. Your son is an excellent player too but Herbert paved the way for so many future players… when he recorded Sushi I couldn’t believe anyone could play like that! This was in 1964 When I heard sushi his first song I was captivated too I couldn’t believe it was possible to play ukulele like that. It’s so uptempo and notes flow by catching my ears plus it was all so melodic that I couldn’t ever catch onto those notes.. I couldn’t play the whole thing I don’t know why I still can’t to this day I cannot believe that his son was able to do it note for note but Herbert was one of the finest musicians I ever got to meet and play with accompanying him on the guitar…thank you Herbert. you always have a place in my heart
