A very moving performance and tribute to one of those special people we would otherwise probably never hear of but who affect young people's lives so deeply.

Knew this guy for a while and never knew this about him... He was always humble and always full of aloha. Mahalo no e Derick :) What a true inspiration.

I work in sports radio, and Derick was playing the national anthem at a game I was working a few years ago. He obviously killed his performance, but after having the chance to chat with him afterward, I was almost equally amazed at his kind, warm presence. Truly a cool dude. I also happen to teach guitar and ukulele, but don't ask me to even attempt to play most of the stuff he's playing here! Keep shining your light, bro.

Wow...what a story. Such a beautiful and moving tribute. An incredible and powerful performance. As a guitarist my whole life,a few years ago I got a ukulele as gift. Considering it just a fad at the time,I didn't touch it for almost a year. Then,one day I tuned it and started learning chords. Within a year or so,I had already composed a few pieces and even got a huge applause from a small audience at a neighborhood cookout. Now,I can't imagine being without my ukulele. And they can take my ukulele from me when they pry my cold dead fingers from it.

Just like music anime, I felt it...I felt the emotions, I see his life by hearing every note...every note hits and you can see how hard he worked, a song that can talk, show you even. The path they took and make you feel proud of the guy that endure the pain and gave his best

This was spectacular...I haven't felt that kind of power from a performance since I took my parents to see Itzak Perelman in solo concert in 1992...my dad telling me afterwords that the show was one of the highlights of his life. Tears all around. Thank you so much.

Fabulous playing but one little girl has once again made the the ukulele famously popular for this time period and of course I'm speaking of Grace Vanderwaal.. Israel Kamakawiwool version of Somewhere over the rainbow is still popular. Singers are always at the top of the heap and their pay checks reflect this.

He visited our school last year because two of his sons goes to my school
I do not doubt his feelings for his teacher or influence but no tears were there. Fake. He’s really good, Amazing even. But do not think for a second that he was crying. Especially when you can’t see his eyes. Sorry for being the one that points it out. I feel what he’s saying but don’t believe he shed a tear right there and then.
