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.
I don't think I've ever heard one played, have you? The small size of the ukes when seen in the photograph of people holding them, mitigates what seems to be a bit of an outre appearance in the photos of them by themselves.
I did see/hear a harp-guitar back in 1968, played by the band, Kaleidoscope, at the Magic Mountain Music Festival on Mt. Tamalpais, but cannot recall anything of the sound, although it was quite striking in appearance.
