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.
Who doesn't like Mr. Sandman and La Vie en Rose? There's a very nice La Vie en Rose on the CD Cou Cou by the Los Angeles group, Les Zazous. No videos of them though. There seem to be a number of groups around the world with that name, so be careful. And Dr. Uke posted an arrangement just this past January.
And speaking or names, when did individual artists start giving themselves plural names, Jeff? And names like Danielle Ate (whatever it is she ate)? Is this a uke thing or just a generic new thing? What ever happened to individuals using their actual, real names? Granted, Bettina Slumpinsky doesn't have the same ring to it as Bettina Rules the Universe...
