DESCRIPTION:
Youtube was doing maintenance at the time I uploaded this video and I just now realized that my description text was deleted in the process.

This is an original song I composed for the compilation CD that was put together in conjunction with Ukulele Underground and the Duchenne Foundation

This compilation is a gift to all who are affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Inspired by those we have already lost, the proceeds will help provide some of the answers scientists are seeking for the living and those yet to be born. Please visit http://www.parentproject.org.au/html/s01_home/home.asp for more information.

The CD can be downloaded in mp3 format at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/varioiusartists

My good friend, Jon Prown, hosted a dinner party the night before the Milwaukee Ukulele Festival. After a wonderful feast of food and plenty of good wine the playing and singalongs began. As things were about to wrap up Jon and I decided to give Rise & Shine a go. We had only briefly ran through the song a couple of times earlier in the day but I really felt a great connection with Jon during this moment. May have been the vino but I think we locked in on the essence of the song.

BTW, I don't recall who was playing the percussion, but thanks!
