CLIFF EDWARDS / UKULELE IKE / YOU TUBE

Here's a sampling of the work of Cliff Edwards, also known as, Ukulele Ike. I like to review these old-time videos to see how effortlessly he played and sang. Cliff was a vaudeville performer and later in his career he performed in numerous movies. Cliff was the voice of Jiminy Cricket in Disney's Pinnocchio.
