Beautiful song with ukelele. Tfs. Best regards from RatuQueen ❤ 3:30
Beautiful performance!
Thanks. I surprised myself with this one. I asked my fingers to find the right notes to play -- and my fingers said, "Sure." Believe it or not, I played this with hardly any practicing -- right off the bat. Way to go, fingers. You make me proud.
@@pshapiro You're great inspiration.for me. I'm looking at old pianos right now. Would like to learn to play with both hands and sing at the same time.
it's worth the treble to tune the ukulele to a bass tuning, you won't get in treble
You're on it! The octave pedal will make it official!
Good to see you up and feeling better!
yup, i'm bouncing back. i have some small edu gifts to send your way for you and your students. kindly send me an email at pshapiro@his.com
Fabulous!! Thanks!
Can't wait to see you playing with a group of other musicians, by the way!
By the way, I love your t-shirt saying "The best librarians answer reference questions anytime, anywhere--no questions asked"!
How do you figure out the melody line? Do you have sheet music or do it by ear? Great work!
thanks for asking. i play by ear. for me, it's fun figuring out what notes to play. i do so via trial and error, before shooting the video.
This looks really professional, like you're on a stage!
Thank you Phil. This is the best recovery video I've I have ever seen ❤️
Nice playing, Phil ! -Dave Campbell
love it
Okay, that's it. Im gonna relearn how to play the harmonica. You are just having too much fun!😄
& not fade away... good seeing you after all these years, Phil.. lookin' good in the gown! :))
thanks, andrea. are you still in the nyc area these days? i travel up to NJ to visit family once or twice a year.
Fire song, keep this in my music Playlist ❤❤
You're an interesting guy Phil. Get well soon. 😊

Thanks so much for your kind thoughts, Michael.
Thank you for the valuable information.
Hi Phil, I'm praying for your complete recovery, my friend, and the staff of the Adult Learning Center here at DC Public Library wish you all the best! I look forward to visiting you once you return to the Takoma Park Library. Continue with your guitar and ukulele playing - - who knows, we might be voting for you next year on America's Got Talent! 🥰💖
thanks, paula. my healing is progressing very nicely. wondering -- do you know any ukulele players who work in the dc libraries? i'd love to meet them - if they exist. to my mind, ukes can be a tool for weaving social fabric. we could use some more of that right about now.
I'm so grateful Phil recorded this special occasion. This award goes to all the helpers of Let's Play America. Phil was one of our very first helpers. I appreciate all of you.
Phil, you have a beautiful smile 🌞 Love, G
Good luck and I hope you can leave the ICU soon. Keep up the good mood and fun!
Love it 🥰🥺
