The number of bands incorporating the ukulele is growing. Each band that I've posted has a great sound, extremely talented musicians and a wide variety of instruments. I see the ukulele taking many people towards their own musicality -- bands such as The Whistlin Wolves are one of many inspirations. Their YouTube page says that they went to school at "Hard Knocks U." I think we ALL are feeling some hard reality knocks lately. Good music softens the blow.
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.
The name Hip Trenderson is right up there with
ReplyDeleteJoe Buddha. I need a name like that, Jeff. Maybe combine the two themes to be the Cool
Confucian, or maybe not.
