I first stumbled across Todd Baio via his Ukulele Evangelist website and interview with Jack Norton.
But I've really been digging the tons of videos he's been uploading to his YouTube channel. A whole bunch of traditional favorites, mostly done solo on the ukulele.
There's nothing odd or special about the renditions -- they're just folk classics, done well. And the videos are about as simple as you can get, but that's not so bad when the music's good. Here's a medley of "Railroad Bill" and the Elizabeth Cotten classic "Freight Train" for your listening pleasure...

And while we're at it, here's Todd doing "John Henry" on the banjolele
