NB The that "Bruno" film came out, Mazz asked me to take her and a Friend (she must have been 14 or so), I had no prior concept of what the film was about, except it was a comedy - I cringed the entire way through the film, trying not to laugh. It was difficult!

Oh my. A wonderful tune and so excellently performed !! I really love it ! .... and Bruno, you're a way better  drummer than most of us (at least than me ) so don't worry !

and great lyrics !!

I'm a thinker; at least I scratch my head a lot
I'd be a historian if it weren't for the things that I forgot

just love those lines

[Hook]

thank you for the fine comments my friends!

64- I like to think that I'm a little bit of all those things! I wonder if I should receive royalties from all these cities or maybe yet perhaps I'm due a share of the taxes!!!

What is it about that damned instrument?
It just sound so F...ing sweet.
But no, I'm noting to buy one and no, I'm not going to try to learn to play it.
Absolutely not.

Yes... absolutely not. 

Loving everything about this one guys.
Bjembe, vocals and yes the sweet sounds of the Uke.

That 3-note repeated phrase on the uke (CDED CDED) is ridiculously effective.

I love the simplicity of the whole thing, and particularly the charm of the naive djembe playing.

Bruno's djembe playing reminds me of something classical guitarist Carlos Bonell said about Paul McCartney. (Among other things, Bonell is known for having coached and advised Paul McCartney for his album of classical guitar.) He commented on McCartney's technique saying (paraphrasing), "His technique is very rough. But he's a gifted musician, so when he touches a guitar, beautiful sounds are produced."

P.S. Let it never be said that our mods are unreasonable:

You're right. Collabs don't qualify for DIY Fest. Oh, well. I guess I better leave it there now.
