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.
Et HU, merci beaucoup. In my early uke days, Jeff, when Al had his contest for 2008 ukulele videos, I had nothing to recommend, so I went looking. I found three things - a Patti Plinko video, which has since been removed (a shame as it was better than any of the videos with her that are still up), the Tippy Canoe video you just posted (which dated from the first week of 2009, so it wasn't eligible), and this one. And it's still a favorite, an oldie (well, not really old) but a goodie.
Victoria is a very sweet young lady, she has a beautiful voice and sings in French. He musical skills are a blast too. The girl, really she's somewhere between 25 and 30. But she's so talented!
