Glen Rose has passed thru our California ukulele clubs leaving a wake of enthusiasm for jazz ukulele sounds. Kim J., from the Berkeley Ukulele Club is an educator in Contra Costa county and he's taking on an additional role as educator of Glen Rose's Jazzy Ukulele style.
I really enjoy Glen's enthusiasm for the history of music and his storytellin' while performing on stage with piano, guitar, ukulele and tap shoes. Glen has many YouTube videos posted of his performance and his recent jazzy ukulele technigues. He plays jazz on a uke tuned with a LOW G string to give it a full jazzy feel. Glen's tautological style is very clear and straightforward. Enjoy it! HU

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.
