Here's a bit of Americana...
(This video is beautiful in it's own right. But I can't help feeling that the mainland or Hollywood hula lacks so much of the subtle beauties, or should I say grace, of real hula.)
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.
Hollywood hula is a blast, Jeff, and those who trash it can swan-dive their pinhead PC selves into a volcano as far as I'm concerned.
