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.
It sounds great to me. Trying to find mistakes with Al's playing is akin to guessing the number of jelly beans in a jar (although I believe Monk did just this on the way to solving a case once).
The piece & the playing remind me of the tunes Dave Evans wrote & performed on his Sad Pig Dance album (1974, reissued this year, I believe), wonderful, quirky guitar pieces in alternate tunings. Watch him perform a piece from this album - Youtube:
Oh, they're there all right!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting it.
