Best ukelele orchestra I've ever heard--and I doubt any others can over Lou Reed, Neil Diamond, David Bowie, and the Undertones with the panache these guys can.
That's awesome.
I'm sure they were inspired by the Velvet Underground. :)

One of them, anyway:). Plus, the definitive version of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers"--finds meaning in the song never conveyed by Neil, or Barbra, or even Neil and Barbra:).
The find of the YEAR!!!!
Somewhere, George Harrison is tapping his foot and smiling.
