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.
As I mentioned to you before on this one, Jeff, here she is with the only uke that I've ever seen her play, a red Hilo. Is she immune to UAS, or is the uke just a side issue for her and this is all she'll ever need?
Whatever the case, I like that she sticks with what many would call a substandard uke, and guess what, no one in her fan base cares a fig about it one way or the other. Neither do any of her fans care that she isn't flinging her fingers all over the neck making her uke weep. It's the songs, stupid. It's what she has to say, and the uke helps her get her thoughts across.
I don't see much if any improvement in her playing (with a pick, mind you) from the very first time I saw her play, but so what, do I care? No, it's about moving people and she does that, doesn't she, HU?
