What Child is This? : Complete Ukulele Tutorial & Sing-along

The lyrics of this beloved carol hail from 1865, paired to the gorgeous tune of ‘Greensleeves’ from the late renaissance, first published in 1580. I have never cared much for it as a melancholy love song, but adore the song as a Christmas carol. It reminds me a little of the transformation that more modernly the tune ‘Stewball’ was morphed into John Lennon’s Happy Xmas Was is Over … another vast improvement over the original lyrics.

Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
