yep, remix.
Keep her away from mic. Either from above so you get more uke or angled so you do.
Tell he the mic reaches out to her and she doesn’t need to sing to it. She how she does with that.
Amazingly directional those cmc641, aren’t they.

Depends on how much wind.
A zeppelin from Rycote may be necessary. They make a small one for shorter mics. The zeppelin cuts out most of the wind. The furry cover adds some more protection, but the zeppelin does most of the work.

Well, you have two people playing and one singing. Sounds good, but I’d want to hear more of her uke and his guitar.
One mic can only capture so much Have them play the song. Put headphones on. Move the mic above her angled down and a little to camera left so it catches his playing too. So you’re getting the whole performance on one mic. Not impossible at all. It does take some positioning and the players/singers performing at relatively constant levels.
When you get the best mix in your headphones, record them.
Blankets will reduce reflections that cause echoes. If you only have two blankets, usually putting them on adjacent walls in a square or rectangular room works best. I don’t hear echoes on this clip.
I had two Schoeps overhead on this clip. Mostly over Shuviel (on the right). One of them was angled a bit to camera left to pickup Josh’s guitar work. I probably could have done it with one mic, but I already had two up. I added some reverb to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1SttlS3llk

Sorry, not enough coffee yet this morning. 🙂
Hanging blankets will not stop sound from the outside.

The Schoeps if the space is halfway decent.
Hanging blankets requires noise abatement, not acoustic treatment, which is what blankets would provide.
Schoeps at forehead height about a foot out, aimed at the mouth and chest.

Hello Craig,
The Schoeps B5D pop filter is always a good choice.
https://www.schoeps.de/en/products/categories/hollow_screen
I have a pair of them and they do a nice job for slight disturbances.
You don’t want them singing directly into it as one might with the mic on a stand. I tried that once and found I had to put another foam filter on the tip of the B5D.
I have boomed from above and gotten good voice and instrument all on the same mic. Here:

Craig,
Sorry folks, new keyboar! Bad hands!
Thanks for the catch.
4053b is correct.

neither.
The M500 is a good hand held vocal mic. not so much a boom mic. Don’t know about the other one.
a pair of AT 5053b or Audix SCX-1 HC mics would work.
Again, you’d be at the mercy of the relative loudness of the individual’s voices.
If their levels are not consistent and even, there little you can do in post, so chancy but possible.If they are not popping in and out a lot a good boom op can cover the action with one boom.

Hello Jason and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
If everyone’s sitting close together, I think the easiest solution would be a live boom op and one mic.
He/she would hang out in the middle and either tilt or shift left and right as needed.
This becomes more difficult if there’s a lot of extemporaneous talking and interrupting, but could still work.
Each person talking would ideally have the same level voice, but that doesn’t always happen. When it doesn’t, I park the mic over the quiet person and tilt to get the louder one from a distance. This is sometimes called “mixing with air.”
You might also put two locked down booms between 1 & 2 and 2 & 3 and split track them.
Three lavs and an automixer will also work, but probably won’t sound as good as one or two really good hyper/super caardioid boom mics.
