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.
I have seen Tippy Canoe perform at DaSilva's and in club in Alameda where she was the drummer. She's got great energy. She uses a braced thumb strum that I hadn't seen used on a ukulele before. Enjoy the video production...
I can't believe it. You've done it again, Jeff. One of my all-time favorites. I tried shopping this around to blogs ages ago and no one would touch it. And one of the very best uke videos ever, too. HU boldly goes where others fear to tread. She must have a super-strong thumb, mine hurts just from having to squeeze a pick hard enough to keep it from sailing off into space.
For an extra little bit of fun, watch -

I'd mail it to you, but, well you know...
Extra tidbit - the two most recent comments for this video are me under earlier Youtube incarnations. Go Tippy!
