Bach on Ukulele

in Music | May 2nd, 2009 Leave a Comment

Pretty intriguing footage highlighted by Metafilter today: “John King, likely the world’s only classical ukulele virtuoso, died last month at the age of 55. Here he is performing a Bach prelude (above), playing more Bach, and playing Chopsticks.” You can find more clips of King’s work on this YouTube channel.
