Title: Don't You Get It

I rarely watch covers on YT but this one is excellent! The solo is perfect and the finger picking is spot on...

Yeah, Alexey is a good friend of mine, but he lives in Moscow and I'm from Saint Peter.
But we meet from time to time to record something together, like "Golden Heart":

Nice to the Ukulele there.  Recently got one myself!  Still very much have my L-plates on though!  :-[

This particular arrangement was made in one sitting, it's pure inspiration. Always makes me think of how great of a songwriter Mark is.

The ukulele is one of my favourite instruments, I think since you obviously are MK fan, you can play "Quality Shoe" on it ;)

Good idea!  One of my favourites to sing along to.  I've seen Devil Baby on YT as well, among others.  However I'm still very much in the early stages of hardening my skin!
