Oh Babe What Would You Say? (Hurricane Smith ukulele cover)

This song was a big hit in 1972 and kind of reminds me of a girl I used to like named Linda, so this one is for her. The song was written by Norman Smith, who was the engineer on all of the EMI studio recordings by The Beatles until 1965. The last Beatles album he recorded was Rubber Soul, and Smith engineered the sound for almost 100 Beatles songs in total. I recently bought an electone so that I could have more variety in terms of sound in my ukulele videos. I found a nice sound called "slow strings." I hope you like my rendition.
