Tico tico (instrumental ukulele video)

I took lessons back on the island. Since it was my ukulele teacher's , Terry Brown, 10th year opening up his business, I promised him a classic ukulele song upload that he taught us. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be where I'm at today as far as music knowledge goes. He taught me the fundamentals of ukulele picking, strumming, chord structures and solo instrumentals. I've been a bit rusty as the years pass but I always try to practice here and there. Here goes nothing, with the song called Tico Tico, enjoy!
