Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond cover), Austin Ukulele Society

[@patrickkelly7085]

When i want my day to start with a smile instead of switching on the TV to listen to the news, I listen to the Austin Ukulele Society and unlike the news they guarantee I will feel better after watching all those wonderful earnest face playing their Ukes with such skill and dexterity, you are making a difference in the world, I know how much work and dedication it must take to keep the society running and I for one appreciate it, thank you.

[@whatthe6532]

Yes news is someone else’s anxiety thrust upon us which mostly has absolutely nothing to do with our own lives.

[@sergiohebling6238]

Hi, people from Austin Ukulele Society. Congratulations to all of you. We can see happyness on every face. That's what friends and ukulele does. We Also have many groups of ukulele friends in Brazil with ours master João Tostes and Vinícius Vivas. And we all Love It. Big hugs from Brazil.

[@jamesterrance]

I watch a lot of your videos...but I always come back to this one. :)

[@JustynFlorie]

Definitely the most fun meeting I’ve ever been to 😅

[@BobGuz]

That's great Justin, thanks!

[@barbarag.5521]

"So good! So good! So good!" The happy vibe is so strong it's rolling over the snow here in Western Canada. This is your best EVER. You're all amazing - the young, the old, the "class-clowns." Lolol Who doubts the ukulele can transform the world??! Blessings and thanks.

[@BobGuz]

Thanks so much Barbara! We had fun and I think it really shines through in the video!

[@barbarag.5521]

@@BobGuz Yes! The fun shows! And compliments to your production crew as well. This video is beautifully done. There's plenty of TLC on display here.

[@BobGuz]

@@barbarag.5521 Thanks Barbara! Heh, my wife Lyda and I are the "video crew." :) She and I set up cameras in spots around the room each time before the group performs the song. After, I gather all the footage, then edit and produce the video. Currently using Adobe Premiere. It's fun!

[@karenpeak3346]

Congratulations Bob and Lynda! You really do a fantastic job on the production🥰

Big thankyou to Colt Clark and the Quarantine Kids who played that song what brought me here in the end. So good to see even more people making music together. It's like a dream from the past. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland :)

Greetings from Mexico City, beautiful Austinities!

[@skatetrek2896]

I think this video is the most hearthwarming thing i seen.

[@Albertfernan1]

Maravilloso Video, muy bonito, muy bien conjuntado por parte de todo el Grupo y lo que mas me asombra, es como todo el Grupo se sabe perfectamente toda la letra de la canción, lo que quiere decir que se trata de una maravillosa canción, como asi lo es. Mi enhorabuena a todos, un saludo

[@BobGuz]

¡Muchísimas gracias!

[@HinduNoSoy]

this makes me really happy

[@AntoninPraus]

Wounderful as always! Almost makes me wish I didn't live 9000km away from Austin :D

[@BobGuz]

Thanks Antonín! Where is home for you?

[@AntoninPraus]

@@BobGuz In the heart of Europe, Czech republic. I've been following you guys for some two years now, even started a local uke club for youths in my town. I even got some videos of us on my channel, so thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good work!

[@BobGuz]

@@AntoninPraus Wonderful! I've seen your videos and especially like your cover of "Hit the Road Jack". Great work!

[@AYPICSTUDIO]

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE PERFORMANS :X DEEP BOW FROM BULGARIA!

[@davidthacker8492]

I've really enjoyed your videos since I discovered your You Tube channel a few months ago but this one must be one of the best. I love your camera angles - they show the enjoyment on your members faces so well. Good to see that you have a few "actors" amongst your members. Sweet Caroline is a popular choice amongst members of the ukulele club I'm involved with (Churchdown Ukulele Club, based at Churchdown, which is a village mid way between Cheltenham and Gloucester in the UK) but I'm going to "steal" one or two snippets from your arrangement if that's OK. One of our members came along to your November meeting while she was visiting her son who lives in Austin. I look forward to seeing and hearing which song you have planned for your Valentine day's meeting.

[@BobGuz]

Hello David! Thanks so much for your comments! Yes, folks are indeed getting more comfortable having the cameras around and we have some members who like to ham it up. I love it and also try to include those clips in the final video! Feel free to borrow anything you like from our arrangement -- that's a compliment! Share a video if you can! I remember meeting your member at our November meeting, when we did our Christmas tune. I didn't get a chance to chat with her after the meeting -- I hope she had fun. Cheers!

[@barbararicker2565]

That was just the best, Folks ! You touched the heart of this Red Sox fan. How about an encore at Fenway Park?

[@BobGuz]

Thanks Barbara! Love to!

Your eyebrows made my day 😄

Who'd the one beside you? The one in brown shirt? She's so prettyyyyyyy and so as you ☺️

[@chuckwong]

Yes. Your eyebrows at 3.55 wholly overshadowed this spectacular rendition. Please carry on the tradition once the club is again able to gather for in person HAPPY fraternity. Uncle Charlie, China.

Nice song

[@adeshwardhe1304]

Where it began, I can't begin to knowin' But then I know it's growing strong Was in the spring And spring became the summer Who'd have believed you'd come along. Hands, touchin' hands Reachin' out, touchin' me touchin' you Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined To believe they never would But now I, look at the night And it don't seem so lonely We fill it up with only two. And when I hurt, Hurtin' runs off my shoulders How can I hurt when I'm with you Warm, touchin' warm Reachin' out, touchin' me touchin' you Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined, To believe they never would Oh, no, no Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good Sweet Caroline, I believe they never could Sweet Caroline...

[@rossydv]

[@lynburke5715]

May I ask what you all use to project your music? I have a club in Fresno, Ca., and we’re needing a way to show the music to the group. What kind of equipment do you use?

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

How about Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World arranged by Roger Emerson?

[@bunnygarg]

1:16 too wholesome

[@stephenbell3373]

Where it began, I can't begin to knowing But then i did not think it would go so good in the group stage Then the group stages became the knock outs Who'd have believed we be still there Hands, touching fans Reaching out, singing loud, hands on hearts Sweet England Good times never seemed so good right now I'd been inclined not To believe but now I do it so good so good Look at the team and each other it wont seem so lonely We filled the stadium with English cheer And when we are behind it hurts but hurt runs off are shoulders How can we hurt when we are all there all of us singing loud Reaching out, hands on hearts, motivating the team Sweet England Good times never seemed so good right now I'd been inclined not To believe but now I do it so good so good good times never seemed so good right now Sweet England I believe they never could
