Well, I fell in love instantly and anyone watching here can easily understand why. But it wasn't tagged for "ukulele" so no one searching Youtube for ukulele videos would have found it unless they just accidently bumped up against it. I mentioned this shortcoming to John, the singer/uker, and it's since been corrected. Even though they're not just a ukulele band, to me the ukulele world seemed the obvious audience for their video. So I mentioned it to Jeff West, of the Bay Area blog, Humble Uker, and he put it up. Donnie Bubbles of Uketoob.com saw it there and he put it on his site. Al picked it up from there, and now you're spreading the word. I was correct in my assessment since in the past two weeks the video's views have more than doubled their previous 3 1/2 month total. This is an original drinking song and we all know the world can use more of those. This video had been up on Youtube for 3 1/2 months when I stumbled upon it
