I want to thank friend of the proGram, Jake Shimabukuro for returning to the show to discuss his upcoming show at the Barrymore. He and I played a little catch up and then we dove into the difference in this show: a accompanying bass player and the recently purchased Bari-Ukulele. We talked about how his approach has been since his first album as well as what was in store for a new release Spring 2015. We also dissected his interpretation of the epically recoGnizable Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and how he almost couldn’t get the sound he desired, and he is still considering that tune a work-in-proGress. There was a spinning musical wheel as well for the second half of the show:
