Hey all, this post is actually not related to Grateful Dead, but considering the Grateful Dead community is about sharing and appreciating some great music, just thought I'd share something...
I was watching Conan the other day and saw this guy totally rockin' the ukulele.

That link is his performance on Conan, and he also has a lot of other videos on youtube. Hope ya'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Jake shim... is amazing! He plays with more soul on 4 strings then I ever could on 6. Check out "as my guitar gently weeps" on yooutube. it will BLOW YOU AWAY

I have a cd of this guy,

My mother hired him for a party she was throwing in Hawaii. It was a business party trying to sell some sort of scientific equipment. Anyway, I didn't have a chance to see him because I wasn't invited, but she wanted me to listen to his music before she hired him and he sounded pretty cool.

Supposedly this guy got some shy scientific guys to groove. Seems like a great upcoming artist.

I saw him on Conan too...he definitely ripped it up on My Guitar Gently Weeps. Kind of a novelty, but very impressive to say the least. Conan really dug him too. he kept telling him he was one of the greatest musicians ever on the show.
I'll bet he starts charging a lot more to play those scientific parties now!
