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.

ReplyDeletethe Moana pier jutting off of Waikiki Beach? I could tell some stories of my stays in Waikiki. In fact, I think I will tell a quick one. I know you won't post this, but you might enjoy it.
During one of my stays at the Moana Hotel I lost
my watch (one with a twist-o-flex band) pretty much upon arrival, and spent my week's stay watchless. I went to bed my last night there resigned to its loss. But when I woke up the next morning, there
it was back on my wrist.
Strange things happen at the Moana. Jane Stanford, the widow of Leland, died of poisoning
there. No one ever found out for sure whodunit.
