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.
[Mr.POB you're definitely correct this is a more popular tune. Gosh, gee shucks, she must've been jogging when singing the end of the song -- she's all out of breath.]
Google ads are a nuisance, and this one doesn't give you much room to click it away without getting the ad (I don't want to flirt). I watched two Irish music videos this week, one was a simple bodhran how-to, that came with video Chicken McNuggets ads (Your video will start in 17seconds (of pure hell)). I don't see the connection, and they weren't the sorts of things to get a lot of views, so why?
Sorry, Serge, you're way too cool for this sort of thing. And Jeff, the video of Serge you should have posted -
Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg - Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus from: bonniespurk
Comes with an ad, of course, but one of the most romantic songs ever written (quite the scandal when I was young) and the beyond-lovely Jane Birkin (try not to fall in love, Jeff), set in Venice, all make for magic.
Any complaints about J'Taime, Jeff? I was expecting some, and wondered if it would still be up by now. When I was attending junior college here in town (ages ago), a friend and I got a hold of the LP with this, and played it at my family's house with the volume low enough not to alert my mother, who would have stepped-in to halt the proceedings had she heard what was being played.

I'm all out of breath at the end too, Jeff. HU has just staked an unassailable claim as the gutsiest uke blog in all of
ReplyDeletecyberspace.
