Aint No Sunshine Cover - On My New Handmade Ukulele!

in #music6 years ago


Hi Friends!

I am sooo excited to have a new ukulele!

This isn't just any ukulele though... it is a handmade, waterproof uke. I've been wanting one of these bad boys for years and my boyfriend @raised2b got me one for my birthday! The coolest part - is that he had no idea this is the exact brand I wanted. He just knew that I wanted a waterproof uke to bring on backpacking trips, fishing trips, and fun times with my friends in the pool or lake.

The Outdoor Ukulele is handmade in Bend, OR and they don't even make it until you order it. It's awesome because they use a composite material that allows the instrument to have way better acoustics than a regular plastic uke.

To test it out... I'm playing a cover of Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers. I hope you all enjoy it!

XO, Lea

Ps... I will be on the road to Toronto soon! If you are at all thinking about attending - just do it!! It is so worth it. Besides - both me and my sister @maryjaney are going - so maybe you'll have a surprise appearance in a Steem Sister Show episode.

I've only purposely sang for one person in my life, and it was a clip of this song as an audio file since I was far too shy to do it in person.

I've been toying with the idea of trying to semi-anonymously sing on Steemit, and it might be this song, but I'd have to be guaranteed the entire reward pool for the day to even try. Major mental roadblock.

Ooooh I wish my vote was worth more so that I could convince you to sing for us. I would LOVE to hear it if you ever decide to post. <3 I'll send you all sorts of virtual hugs and support!

Handmade Uke! Wow that's impressive. Nicely done on a classic song.

It's a special gift for your birthday. It's really nice if you can work with special tools and I'm sure your cover works can be special in the ears of the listeners.

This month is my birthday too. We are in the same month of birth.

By the way, nice cover song. I enjoyed your talent, Lea @coruscate

Wow congrats on the new Uke! :) And great song! Brilliant job....as always. :)

Really cool.

Cool little instrument and you are talented.

Always sharing quality video!!! Love it!

If the bear market continues, you can play to all the rest of us from a submarine, as we'll all be under water.

Seriously though, that boyfriend looks like a keeper.

The low notes really suit your voice, the husky breathy passion reinvents the song, makes it less declamatory, more yearning. I like it a lot! :)

Wow! Cool)
Look at my mini concert too!

Beautiful Performance 😊 Loved it ❤️
