Jake Shimabukuro

I was in Pegasus Book Store on Shattuck today looking at magazines and comics, and I was contemplating if i should buy the fall 2010 Hypen magazine (http://www.hyphenmagazine.com/). On the cover there was a picture of Jake Shimabukuro with a tagline saying "Ukulele Sensation". I thought that was very peculiar because I never heard of a ukulele star. Then I saw a youtube link to one of his performances on my friend's gchat status. Thanks Larry for sharing :)

I have a funny story about Bohemian Rhapsody. I was blasting my Queen cd at my donut shop one day. It was a very slow day, so why not blast it. I went to the back section so I can dance and be ridiculous. I started trying to learn the lyrics. So here I was blasting Bohemian and singing on the top of my lungs...
I really tried to get into the mood for the second section, the mama part. For some reason, that is my favorite part and it really strikes a chord in my soul.

"MAMA... I JUST KILLED A MAN
Put a GUN against his HEAD
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
MAMA... LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
MAMA... OHHHHHHH
Didn't mean to make you CRY ...."

Somewhere around this part... maybe the "ohhohhhohhh" part, I heard giggling. Hella shocked me! I was like "OMG THERES PEOPLE HERE. How embarassing. arggg"
I lowered the volume to the stereo and went into the serving section of my donut shop and saw two or three girls laughing. They were really, really amused. I asked them how long they been there, and they said they were there for awhile.
UGHHHH how utterly embarassing. My singing is TERRIBLE fyi. I just like to do it anyway when im alone.
I apologized for making them wait. They said it was cool and complimented me on my passionate singing (I was really getting into it -.-)

Anyway... embarassing story over. Here is the video of Jake Shimabukuro performing Bohemian Rhapsody. Its soo good!
