Hi everyone, Thought you might like to see some footage of a friend of mine playing the Baritone uke (a Samick model to those of you who may be wondering). His name is Tom Sampson and is a singer, uke (and guitar) player in Plymouth, England. He's been singing and playing on the local circuit since the 1970s:-) He is a big fan of Crosby Stills and Nash, The Beatles, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, James Taylor to name a few. Tom has been teaching me uke and guitar for a couple of years now. There isn't a lot of Baritone uke music around on the net so I suggested filming some and he liked the idea. I hope you like them! We filmed these clips a couple of weeks ago and they came out quite well. I'm finding them really useful for my uke practice as well. Links to the video clips pasted below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_QrkDknE7Y (Things we said Today) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5ckpV96alw (Something) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF5kO46HOXY (Nobody knows you when you are down and out - played on a Gibson Baritone BU1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwOXFG0NNvE (I'll see you in my dreams) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNgHykVIuKY (When I'm 64) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj81jrHjQuc (Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea) Enjoy!

Shews, I have the same baritone uke (the Samick) but my music doesn't come close to Tom's. Enjoyed the videos very much. I also have a 1960's Regal baritone but I really covet that Gibson he is playing. Thank, Preston

Hello shewbrookj, I really enjoyed listening and watching your friend play. The strumming was great, the vocal was sincere and the footwork...well...was footwork.  Isn't it great to see the fun people can have playing the uke. The more I hear different people (and myself) playing it, I realize it really is a very versatile instrument. emma

These were great, i just bought a baritone uke (by accident) and was very impressed by Mr Sampsons playing. I think Ill keep the chubby uke after all.

hey, thats what I like! I'm a life long Beatles fan, always trying to play it on different intruments: spent a coulple of years transposing to banjo, mando etc. Never thought of uke tenor. Have spent a couple of hours on soprano uke tonight and there are some useful Beatles stuff I think sound great on uke, you inspire me. You can contact me on 01752 299851 if you would like to discuss stuff. I have a few intruments, love to meet people who play. Geof C

I have a Gibson Baritone uke that I purchased in a pawn shop in Denver in 1965. It has been rebuilt twice (my fault) and sounds great! This is the only other uke of this type I have seen. Sound just like mine, and I love it.
