At the Seattle Ukulele Players Association picnic today, I played Death Cab for Cutie’s “I’ll Follow You Into the Dark.” And, now, due to the wonders of the internet and my incredible nerve, you can hear me play it right here.I made this while I was practicing for the event. I didn’t play it this well in the park, but I did have an amplified uke and a couple of guys messing around with wires and the microphone. That was fun. Props to the roadies. And, of course, the media were there, with cameras everywhere. (Thanks for the pic, Lori!) But I gotta work on my stage fright. I tell you what. I also played “Let’s Do It, Let’s Fall In Love.” That went a little better, I think I’d warmed up a bit.
You need Windows Media Player or something that plays *.wma files.
I’ve added a handful of pics to the SUPA set. Start here.

Hey thank you … I hope there’s more of this 🙂
That was great. Loved the sound, loved the song (great lyrics). Was that you singing too?
America’s got talent!
It’s all me, Lies, all me. 🙂
You’re amazing!
You sound totally different than I imagined you would :).
very cool the singing and uke playing…I don’t guess you know “freebird” do you? ;)…
That’s awesome! Gonna send a friend this way who’s just learned ukelele.
And I misspelled ukulele. Nice.
Cool!
You are absolutely amazing!
Loved it! 🙂
You can play AND sing. Well done.
Pam –
Loved your performance…encore, encore!
I heartily recommend quitting the day job!
Quite to the contrary: I urge you to quit your day job! I would buy all your albums, and/or give you all my spare change in the subway!
You are an inspiration. Truly. I wish you were my neighbor.
That song was awesome. I am a huge Death Cab For Cutie fan. My wife and I just got back from Hawaii and she bought a nice ukulele. I was wondering if you have notes to play this song or any other DCFC songs. That would be great!
