Woodshed – Thank You!

No ratings yet. (Part 4 of my self-indulgent goodbye – see three previous posts for details.) When I first entered the online ukulele world, the Top 50 page was my road map.  It was the easiest way to find out which sites my new peers thought were the best of the numerous ukulele sites available.  After […]

Ken Middleton – Thank You!

No ratings yet. (Part 3 of my goodbye – see two previous posts for details.) One of the things you hear over and over again about the ukulele community, both virtual and real, is how the members of this group are so helpful, kind and accepting.  My experience with them has proven this to be […]

Howlin’ Hobbit – Thank You

No ratings yet. (Please forgive my indulgence in this second farewell post – see the previous post for details.) When I think of the ukulele, the first image that pops into my mind is of Howlin’ Hobbit.  Diminutive yet imposing, gentle but with a snarky bite, capable of the smoothest tones and the fiercest growls […]

Uncle Jeff – Thank You!

No ratings yet. If you haven’t noticed, I have started winding down this site.  After daily posts for almost three years, I find my interests and time being pulled in directions away from the ukulele universe – not that I don’t still play daily – just that I have other things I want to do […]

Phil Doleman – Say a Little Prayer

No ratings yet. One of my favorite Bacharach songs…. YouTube Channel: PhilDoleman His Notes: Say a Little Prayer, played chord/melody style on the uke, for the Ukulele Cosmos invitational, June 2011. Hurriedly put together (some bits are still partially improvised), and recorded in one take, in the dark, between my kids waking up and wanting […]

Ken Middleton & Ukulollo – Sunshine Reggae

5/5 (1) Like peanut butter and chocolate…. YouTube Channel: KenMiddletonUkulele Their Notes: I know nothing about this song and had never heard it before. Lorenzo selected it and we played it.
