"DRAGON" now on sale there, along with several other albums there and of course at Amazon.com, Best Buy, etc. "Walking Down Rainhill" has a recording of this video's subject song.
Awesome uke, man. Awesome.

Cheers!
The guy's name is Jake Shimabukuro.
Someone already posted the link to his website on here.
No, that is not a cavaquinho, it is a ukulele.
I'm sure to go listen to jake's cd Dragon. Enjoy.
All the best
Ken
Il doit y avoir de meilleurs joueurs de Ukulele, mais on voit qu'il prend plaisir à jouer !
I think there are betters players, but he 's got so much pleasure playing this song, that it's very incredible. What a beautiful song ! But, hum... What's the title of this song please ?
BTW, it is an ukulele, not a cavaquinho. Ukes come in several sizes with differing numbers of strings. Jake plays a tenor Jake Shimabukuro Signature Model Kamaka.

Somebody asked, if and how he could get it for iPod. It's this easy:
Go to
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=829401773913198414&q=ukulele&pl=true
and click on the "Download" button on the right. But dont forget to set "Download for iPod"!
So Have fun and share it with everybody! I even bought his Cd! I couldn't remember when i actually "baught" my last one...ROFL
Greetings from the Land of the FIFA WorldCuo 2006
I guarantee though, that whatever video replaces it - some people (possibly me) will believe it to be unworthy of the spot.
On this performance, I have watched it so many times that I'm sort of numb to its effect -but- the first time I watched it, a shiver went down my spine. Sometimes art can transcend a mere performance and personally connect to the people experiencing it.
Having said all that - I also think there is a bit of intertia about being on the all-time top page 1. I think there are some videos on page 2 and 3 that are worthy to overcome some of the vids on the top page. So go vote for them!

Quisiera que toque ese tema en charango, sonaria muy bello.
WORD.
Reminds me of a time where a co-worker took me aside in the back room in the restaurant where we were both working late at night and he played Forbidden Dreams on guitar (7 minutes and yes, he was a pro). Too cool, both pieces are a work of art, one I was witness to live and this one I felt like I was.
The player who played for me, you ask? Stephen Elliot.
Cheers

Thank you so much for posting, crayfish!
Thought i'd let the newer sifters look at this if they havn't already.
(rather than bypassing VS for google video page).
Rolling out the ban guillotine . . .
Don't get me wrong. I was totally mesmerized the first time I saw it.
I can certainly foresee a situation where I could post an AI video and go on all of the American Idol forums and make up a story urging people to register and vote for magical ClayAiken-bot AI performance b/c VS is now tied to the AI voting in some way.
We may or may not get a hit of unique users one-voting for ClayAiken-bot. And there it would sit near the top. . .when the majority of the actively participating members would really want to have nothing to do with it.
Jake's performance is transcendent, but I believe that the vote total is fluffed by far too many single-vote voters or people who registered only to vote here for Jake from the urging of a Jake or ukelele forum.
And even if a user is a once-a-month lurker, then they should have voted more than once at this point. There are posts just as amazing as Jake at this point.
Anyone been to Jake Shimabukuro's house lately? I heard he's got a few different accounts on this site.
*recount
And is he getting some sort of prize for being the top-rated post? I doubt it. Prestige perhaps but with all due respect most people are going to see this directly on Google or YouTube, not here. If people really did pump up the votes on this one then they are desperately sad but surely we can rise above that nonsense? The video is still worthy of being on VideoSift, which is the whole point, non?
Looks like Jake's many groupies served him well this go-round. Since they are all unique users, they aren't actually breaking any rules, but I suppose it's worth noting that the votes are a bit skewed.
All good points. I just see a loophole here that could be abused down the line as the community grows. Jake doesn't bother me one bit, but Justin Timberlake exploiting the loophole would cheese me off. And I would hope that the most popular videos always reflected the sensibility of the actively participating VS community.
And we don't really have to adhere strictly to the one person, one vote experiment in democracy here. It already is a moderated community. I think that one way to ensure "quality" votes would be to enable "dead" votes just as we tab "dead" videos. If it is apparent that a person only arrived to vote once and to never again participate in the crack cocaine that is VS, then gold stars should be able to nullify a vote.
I say make new users jump through a few reasonably thought out hoops.
Ironic given my choice of avatar.
yeah, what everyone else said but back in your face
On this list of thousands of voters, Deano and Lucky perceive beautiful and unique voices of democratic expression like delicate droplets of dew on the hidden orchid.
All I see are BODIES.
inspired me to think of doing something similar though, so thanks!
Great video, but definitely doesn't deserve almost 500 votes. All the other four Jake videos tally up to 53 votes total. Definitely inflated vote count here.
(b) WTF is this all about? Why is this some big conspiracy about artificial votes and "hit and run"??
Seriously just because your pea brains can't understand how it works. In my opinion Lucky should have grandfathered all existing accounts at the time instead of adding a "P" to all accts that didn't have a publication. At any rate, this has nothing to do with hit and run or anything. Before there was a critical mass of submitters and voters there were mostly voters and the occasional submitter. Now you only need 10 votes and we have probably 20x or 50x the number of casual voters and a lot more submitters.
The sift is like a dirt road. top videos keep getting reinforced for no other reason then being #1. Just like getting into the top15 means your votes explode and all the other videos hover around 15 or whatever.
We can't change the inherent nature of a voting system that is open to all.
I saw nothing better than this and the other video discarded, just to set the example that this drive-by voting is not cool, but it seems that the authorities have spoken and they get to stay.
You're saying it dilutes the sift? I say cat fart videos dilute the sift, could we please stop them aswell? Let's stop "first"-posters aswell while we're at it, as they're diluting the comment section. Why not round it off with stopping certain words from being put in the description and/or comment section?
If you want to break this number and get your sift to be nr.1 that badly, find a good enough video and advertise it.
When I posted a cat fart video, I didn't go out to my YOUtube subscription members and ask for them to make accounts on the sift to get my video to be over 9000.
Kreegath at least cat fart videos go through the sift on the table. Not under the table like this one did.
When I posted a cat fart video, I didn't go out to my YOUtube subscription members and ask for them to make accounts on the sift to get my video to be over 9000.
But you should've, because cat fart videos is what made the Sift.
