welcome to chordie
i can`t give you advice as it sounds you know far more than i.
but i agree about the baritone or tenor uke,they seem to be more an instrument
than the soprano ukes.don`t buy cheap,treat yourself with a nice uke
you deserve it.A quality instrument will be able to be sold if you don`t stick with it.
where as a cheap uke remains a cheap uke.

very interesting comments,i`ve all but given up on media.
much of it is opinion and often bias  at that.
Looks like around the world we are seeing a swing to the right
in recent elections,i think this is a reaction to the extremes of the left.
we are living in interesting times

i have to agree with BGD,it`s only my opinion others may disagree.
i don`t think you are doing yourself any favours with all that tech sounds.
i`m not hearing the real you.
always enjoy your covers

great to hear from two great thinking men.
thinking almost seems like a lost art.many people just seem to
repeat what they been told,not able to think for themselves.

I don`t really listen to lyrics deeply i`m ashamed to say,this guy puts an interesting perspective
on two writers that are very different ,the poor guy is optomistic and the rich guy masquarading
as a poor guy is pesimistic.interesting?

Shes great,an actual talent on these type of shows is a rarity.
I hope she doen`t let them mould her into something different to what she is.
but i suspect they will.     

after much research i found it,electric sitar.
used in Beatles  Norwegian Wood plus heaps of other songs
Stevie Wonder/Tom Petty/Boxtops/Joe South/Steely Dan

Welcome,i see you are from Bangladesh i watched your cricketers
this summer on their tour on NZ     

Another group of people that are now unemployed is from `the ministry of free speech``
don`t know if theres any songs about this one though.     

Don`t know if there were any jobs at Dept of Common Sense
but if there ever was it surely doesn`t exist any more.     

thanks for replies,just remembered,i saw The Hollies a few weeks ago
they had that sound on `The Baby``must be a guitar effect.any ideas you gadget people?

I`ve heard a piece of instrumental music and i love the sound.
i`ve heard it a few times and don`t know if it`s guitar or keyboard.
Or hows it`s produced.
an example that you may know is the instrumental break in BJ Thomas
`eyes of a new york woman``
thanks in advance 

Peatle ah the ever interesting Peatle,can`t wait till catch at the pub on sunday.
I`m sure you`ll have another interesting lot of facts to share.
As for me, i enjoy just listening,mainly because ya can`t drink and talk at the same time.

a cover that comes to my mind is the Blind Faith album
when i was a teenager i think the naked girl on the cover was a great selling point.
