Just received my 2 "Daily Ukulele" books. 👍 I think your break down video's are great especially when you tale the time to show the cord melodies as you did with "Freight Train". What about John Prine's "Fish and Whistle"? I can't find your rendition anywhere ☹️

Hey Barry - great to hear! You're really going to enjoy them - there are so many good songs in there. The thing I find is I end up playing songs I probably would never have "searched" for but when I come across them in the books I give them a go and really enjoy them. I'll definitely put Fish and Whistle on my Song List so stay tuned! Spanish Pipedream is another John Prine tune I'm working on too. Let me know how you make out with the books!
