Ron Hale is a local uke player, music player, blog investigator, and frequent commentor. Sometimes he shares a scoop on a band that he hasn't seen somewhere else. This time he's told me about a local band named, VAGABONDAGE. This is a clever video showing a bit of the San Francisco feel. I'm sure there's a lot of herb tea and odwalla fruit juice in those flasks.
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.

Al put it up on his site today (Jan. 23).
ReplyDeleteMore very deserved exposure.
When I stumbled upon this video, Jeff, after four months it had 330 views. Now, two weeks later it has 750. Amazing...Of course, the Kid's version of I'm Yours has 12 million views, but still...
ReplyDeleteJust got a nice email from Tony Boland of Uke Ireland, who was glad to feature them, with
ReplyDeletean invitation to drop by if I'm ever over there.
The band's reaction to their video making the rounds of Ukulele Cyberspace is "Amazing!!!."
