To be fair, I haven't used my uke all that much after all the song and dance (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=20816.0) I made about getting it. But for some reason after I'd figured out how to play Gallows Pole on guitar, I thought it would be neat on uke. So I figured out an arrangement. And it's actually fun to play. The percussion part that comes later is me banging the uke.
I'd love to say this was LITLR - and I did try - but I couldn't get any expression singing whilst playing.
Maybe a very belated entry for the Led Zeppelin fest?

Super fantastic Uke and vox ODH! You definitively got some expression on your vocal. I also love the Uke bongos!

Nice job. The uke works really well for this song.
Sorry. If you'd sent me a PM a week ago and said you were working on this for Past Fest Revisited / ZepFest, I would have kept an eye out for it and added it to those jukeboxes. But I didn't receive any PM and it's a week since Past Fest Revisited ended, so I can't justify adding this song to ZepFest now. However, I admire your resolve to complete Led Zeppelin III, so I'll make you a deal. If and when you complete Led Zep III, I'll make a separate "ODH does Led Zeppelin III" jukebox with your complete set of covers of that album. Fair enough?

Wowie-zowie! Before listening, I was afraid a uke might be "too light" for a song like this, but it came out fitting perfectly. Digging those uke bongos, too!

The music is quite nice, instrument and vocal, however I'm not sure its a good idea to tap time
on a wooden instrument. Over the years I've repaired loose internal braces on numerous acoustic
guitars that eventually lost their grip due to vibration from the player tapping time on the top of
the instrument. Just a word of caution.
