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.
Well, this may be the No-Uke-Zone, Jeff, but this is first and foremost a band with electric ukulele. Let's make sure readers understand this. And one of my favorite uke bands to boot, so it's nice to see them make their HU debut, even if it is through the back door, so to speak.
Fronted by brother and sister, HU. Bama Slim is a perpetual motion machine on his Mandobird amped uke, and Cate Hate pounds her washboard right along with him.
Hard to go wrong with them, but let me recommend their recent video performances of 'Romp & Stomp' (exactly what it says), the instrumental 'Coffin Killer' and my own favorite, 'Baby Jesus Wept.'
My favorite because it's the story of my life. Yes, when the Devil made me, baby Jesus wept. Why? Because I'm evil. True story, everyone in the family knows it.
