[Geir]

Thank you kindly my friends!!

PJ, I think I'll have a look in my kitchen drawer too for the next one !!! ... or maybe in the garage! ..... or the tool-shed .... hmmmmmm ......

Wow, this is excellent, Geir! Probably the only example of a ukulele in a Deep Purple song. Terrific performance. Great use of improvised instruments... but the vacuum cleaner sucks.    Great work!

Coming up with the idea to use a ukulele for a solo in a Deep Purple song.............. genius!!!

This is truly what unplugged music is all about.

I don't how I missed this one.  This simply fab.  A really unique production, which propels this tune.  And you've answered the age-old question: "What good is a vacuum cleaner?"

Great.

I forgot to mention that you are the Yngwie Malmsteen of the uke.

Geir this is genius... after along hard day at work.. this has put such a huge smile on my face! I can't add any more to the comments you've already had, but I loved the fact that the vacuum cleaner sucks! So, so cool...just amazing! Including a great vocal, and superb uke solo...unbelievable!

LOVED it!!!

Thanks for the bump! I missed this the first time around. That vacuum cleaner drumming is inspired and genius, Geir - count among those who love the uke solo, too. And banging out that all-time classic riff on acoustics!
