MAN PRONOUNCED DEAD STILL REMEMBERS UKELELE CHORDS


Astoundingly, this man who was declared dead on an operating table following open heart surgery in May 2005, picked up his ukelele for the first time on August 26th , 2011 and immediately remembered the intricate chords for Cecilia; Ja- Da, Ja-Da; I love You; Ain't She Sweet; & etc. The battered but proud instrument belonging to the man's father in the 1930s has seen Dix men through thick and thin.

.........It is tuned to MY DOG HAS FLEAS...........
