Comedian Brently, DailyUke, has a goal to do 365 songs in 365 days. I'm not really keen on the musicality of the whole deal. I don't feel it's a great showcase for the ukulele. Have I become a ukulele prude? I told Brently that I was watching his videos under protest and he responded in such a way that I thought I would give him another chance. The more I see the more I realize that he's completely insane, no, he's doing the creative process much like the song-a-day man Jonathan Mann that I have posted both on Humble Baritonics and DoGBonE Baritone.
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.
10:35 of Brently is too much, Jeff. This doesn't work for me as comedy or music.
ReplyDeleteGhetto Fight is one of his worst, as far
as I'm concerned, and that's saying quite a
lot as there's plenty of competition.
And can someone, anyone, tell me what
those fools were laughing at? I was cringing
the whole time.
Wow! First off, I totally agree. 10:35 is too much. And to be fair that was not an original song, it was written by the Austin band Deep Sombraros. I like the line about it being one of my worst, though and having a lot of competition. It's a bit of silly passion and yes, a bit too long to post! What are they laughing at? Maybe the physicality and absurdity taken very very seriously. Perhaps it's better caught live? Or, like Jeff says, I am completely insane. Although I don't think I'm interesting enough for that. Thanks Zizi for taking the time to comment! There's always hope to win you over yet! :) But certainly can't win 'em all. Have fun with what you do and keep strumming!
