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 like the joviality of Klezmer music but haven't seen much on the ukulele. Hope to find some more. Also I'd like to hear some other music from the Middle East. If you know of one you like please send me a link. HU
