That Good the Bad and the Ugly by the Ukulele orchestra kills me every time!

Have you ever seen/heard Arlo perform "All Along the Watchtower" on uke? It's killer as well, and he does it in a Dylan voice that sounds almost more like Dylan than Dylan does these days! Been a few years since I've seen him do it.

i love that one too psb!

larry (speaking on behalf of myself) i still haven't heard arlo do that one!

stability seems an issue

We experienced Arlo playing All Along the Watchtower on uke at the Church in October 2002. It was, as Jon Stewart might say, a pure moment of zen.

I'll Take You There is so inspirational. I also love their song If You're Ready Come Go With Me". Arlo's version of All Along the Watchtower on uke is killer. Haven't heard it in awhile but it's great...

I ascended the mound (the mound on which Sergeant Floyd was buried) and sat upon his grave, over grown with grass and the most delicate wildflowers, where I sat and contemplated the stillness of this tenanted mound; and beheld from its top, the windings infinite of the Missouri, and its thousand hills and domes of green, vanishing into blue into distance, when not but the soft-breathing winds were heard, to break the stillness and quietude of the scene. Where not the chirping of bird or sound of cricket, nor soaring eagles scream, were interposed ‘tween God and man; nor aught to check man’s whole surrender of his soul to his Creator. I could not hunt upon this ground, but I roamed from hill-top to hill-top, and culled wild flowers, and looked into the valley below me, both up the river and down, and contemplated the thousand hills and dales that are now carpeted with green, streaked as they will be, with the plough, and yellow with the harvest sheath; spotted with lowing kine-with houses and fences, and groups of hamlets and villas-and these lovely hill tops with the giddy din and maze, or secret earnest whispers of lovesick swains-of pristine simplicity of virtue-wholesome and well earned contentment and abundance-and again, of wealth and refinements-of idleness and luxury-of vice and its deformities-of fire and sword and vengeance of offended Heaven, wreaked in retributive destruction!-and peace, and quiet and loveliness, and silence, dwelling again, over and through these scenes and blending them into futurity!”

This passage was written by George Catlin in the mid to late 1830’s on the site of the cedar grave marker of Sergeant Floyd from the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Sergeant Charles Floyd was diagnosed to have “Biliose Chorlick” by Merriwether Lewis in 1804 and on August 20, 1804 he died and was buried on a hill above an unnamed river and a red-cedar post engraved with his name, title and the date was raised above the grave. He was the first US Soldier to die west of the Mississippi River.

If you look at this painting you can see the cedar marker on the nearest peak!

(speaking on behalf of myself) thanks for posting that!

yes, well done!, strangely talented video maker!

Thanks!!

Thanks for that! It took me awhile with dialup but finally Broadband has come to my little corner of the world and in a week or so I should be able to watch those utube thingys also!

Got my Dylan tickets, he's here on Aug 13th. My Mom (she's nearly 82) is going with me. I'd like to see HIM do it on a Uke!

Crikey! That Arlo guy is talented!
Could you imagine Dylan getting up and doing Alice's on a UKE!
