My father in law was a medic with the 100th, who served 17 months on the front and survived the war. He spoke of marching all over Europe and said surviving was a blessing and a curse. I believe you truly captured his feelings in your song. Thank you, Jake.

Domo Arigato, My Uncles were in the 442nd and their names are on the "Go For Broke" Memorial in LA. Very nice Jake.

The 34th Infantry Division is very proud of our 100th Battalion Nisei Soldiers! Thank you Jake!

The book is called Peace Love Ukulele and looks just like the cover of the album. Besides all the tracks from the album, it also has While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Hula Girl.

Wow, he's really refined that song. It MUCH better than his original rendition. Thanks for posting. BTW, I love ALL your videos. Although I'm on the mainland now you seem to attend all the events I would be going to if I were back home. I can feel apart of it by watching your vids!

[@unokUSjarhead]

@korinstower202 The tab book is a direct tab for his peace love ukulele album, on that version he plays over drums and an organ and he plays the version with single notes. The live version has more chords to fill in the sound and in my opinion would be better to learn.

[@user-gf1pj3vg1n]

😢😢😢

[@BTBHSOHBOY]

@adonisbisquera His book (with this included) was released today

[@Johanfiehn7]

@runeskypex He has many

[@tmac2k61]

[@JordanSleed]

It's his custom signature Kamaka Tenor ukulele.

[@guitaristmathewsloan8006]

Eneas Perez its called a ukulele... nice one

[@eneasperez3798]

[@user-vo4it7oy3g]

[@korinstower202]

it annoys me that his song book is only singular notes and not chords like in this song

[@ukecrazy92]
