Their Notes: Swallowtail TAB here: http://ukulelesecrets.org. Larry O’Gaff TAB here: http://ukulelehunt.com/2009/06/28/john-king-larry-ogaff-tab/.
This is an homage to John King and James Hill for my favorite ukulele performance..ever. Larry O’Gaff Swallowtail medley.
I first saw the performance video just after John King left us, shortly after I began playing ukulele. It moved me like nothing ever has.
Months later I discovered Al Hunt (woodshed1 on youtube and ukulelehunt.com online) had transcribed the Larry O’Gaff part. Yay!! I knew what I would be doing for a while. So grateful to Al!
Then I set about learning the Swallowtail part from watching the video.
At the same time my friend Jim was on the same uke journey and gladly jumped in on learning my version of a James Hill type accompaniment. As a new uke player himself, his natural talent quickly found the groove.
I couldn’t quite clean James’ monostrum and even contacted him for advice. He said most people can’t get it, so I didn’t feel bad. So I approached it from where I thought John King would and arranged a campanella version of Hill’s performance, as far as the harmony lines went. And this is the result.
I miss John King like you wouldn’t know. He is still my biggest influence, as I come from a classical guitar history. But I tell you I am so happy that James Hill is still sharing with us. I frequently refer to him as a master and a monster musician. Because he is.
Or at least close to heaven….

His Notes: Ukulele version of the “Lady in the Radiator” piece from Eraserhead, set to a slideshow of some photos I took at the Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans..
Fantastic version….
YouTube Channel: sanfordandsong
His Notes: A ukulele version of Hoist that Rag in a “cuban flamenco” style. The arrangement was learned from a fantastic uke player known as “waitswatcher” (although his version has a much more sophisticated picking pattern). Waitswatcher’s channel has a link to a free download of his Tom Waits instrumentals cover album.
Colin nails another great arrangement for solo uke….
