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.
This reminds me: at a somewhat recent Cicada Club show, William Macy and his wife Felicity Huffman danced their hearts out, and he took the stage to announce that he'd given himself one year to be a good vintage/swing dancer (looked perfectly fine to me). He also met Ian Whitcomb and showed an interest in Ian's banjo uke.
Thanks for that, Jeff. I hadn't seen the last one.
