DESCRIPTION:
The Hole in The Banana by Klaus Weiland, arranged by Ulli Boegershausen, played by me Samantha Muir. This piece is an acoustic guitar standard but I don't have an acoustic guitar so I'm playing it on a nylon string.
For the real version, played by Klaus himself, go to this link

The sound on my attempt is pretty awful because I'm playing in the "campo" using the movie setting on my camera, and the mic is.....well....crap! But anyway I wanted to share this video because it was taken in a special place. Here's some background....I haven't been very active on YT recently because a very dear friend passed away. For those of you who follow my videos you'll know my friend josie2u2, and it was her mum, Marie Louise who died on March 12th. She was a very special person who supported all our projects my CD, our book, YT etc etc. She was also the person who really got us into YT after finding Ovidiov playing Dilermando Reis. She liked finding new pieces for me and recommended some of Per-Olov's music too. So, you can imagine the great loss and sadness we all feel. But yesterday the sun was shining and we decided to go up into the mountains to have a picnic in a place Marie Louise found many years ago and particularly liked. It's just an almond grove "in the middle of nowhere", but, as you will see from some of the photos I have included, it is a beautiful, peaceful place. No fancy restaurant, no tablecloths, no fuss and frills - just the earth, the trees, the wildflowers, the birds, the wind.... It's an ancient place and Josie likes to go looking for Roman pottery & coins there. I decided to take my guitar (I have a cold and am not feeling very energetic) and sit under an almond tree (sorry, no banana palms present!) and work on a piece which I have been wanting to play for a while. Here is, The Hole in the Banana.... I'd like to upload it again soon using my Smallman and with better sound but for now a big apology to all my YT friends for ignoring you all. But I'm back and looking forward to catching up with what you have all been doing. Oh! The other thing is, this new format has me in bit of a muddle....after I've signed in I can't seem to find my home page which was the easiest way to see what people were uploading..... So, if you are a friend and subscriber and would like to share one of your videos with me please do send them. And hey! Where did the stars go!!!!! I like stars :-) Photos by josie and me!
