A Lover's Concerto (the Toys) ukulele rendition

Description

Beer Can series #2: The fourth song in this series is one of my all-time favorite oldies. In 1965, the Toys recorded this song which is based on “Minuet in G Major” from J.S. Bach’s Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach. According to Wikipedia, the minuet is “often attributed to Bach himself” but “is now believed to have been written by Christian Petzold. Thanks for watching my second beer can series!
