I wanted to create this blog as a place where I can store and retrieve information for future reference. I chose the name Humble Uker Ramblings because I have started out strumming my father's 1950's painted Harmony ukulele. I think that the greatest appeal of the ukulele as "the people's instrument" is it's humble simplicity. My contact email is HumbleUker@gmail.com. I have also been working on a blog for the Baritone Ukulele called Humble Baritonics.

TAB-U-LEARN / DOMINATOR TABS
Doris Day Ukulele---
I was googling for Baritone ukulele tablature and found this new site, Tab-U-Learn. It happens to be created by another Australian. He happens to write tablature for (gCEA) Ukulele, (DGBE) Baritone Ukulele and also Harmonica. He says that his tabs are stepping stone for those not quite ready for Dominator's tabs. He has several different genres tabbed out. There is a lot to check out.
For those who want to see Dominator's advanced tabs, look here...
And there's also my buddy, Alistair Wood's, Ukulele Hunt...

JANET SEIDEL / MOON of MANAKOORA


A possible addition to the ukulele players musical library is Janet Seidel's Moon of Manakoora album. Janet provides a very sweet and smooth vocal along with her piano playing. Chuck Morgan plays UKULELE and guitars. There's also bass and percussion in her jazz ensemble.
I would love to have all of the album songs in our club music library... Somehow, by pasting the song names below, the mp3's attached themselves (abrreviated versions, not complete songs). So check it out for yourself.

Tonight You Belong To Me
Father and the sweetest little girl... (I guess I am a sentimental sap! I am a sucker for little girls with pony-tails, my little one is now 23.)
[Note to dad: I love the uke, but the solo is too long, Jade really is "the Show". Thanks for the video. www.ukulele123.com]
I found Steve Martin & Bernadette Peters in "The Jerk" Lyle Ritz plays the ukulele sountrack. You will need to click on this link to see it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI8NuFAETMQ It is the best part of the movie!

HAYLEY LEGG / AUSTRALIA
Well, it seems that I have been finding Australians lately. This young lady, Hayley, has a beautiful voice and has used her guitar skills to pick up the ukulele very quickly. She has two songs that I really enjoyed...
