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.
Hi HU, hope all's well with you. I'm a Brit and travelled to Luxembourg this week to see the United Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra. They were great. Star of the show for me was Sarah Dale who turned her fine singing voice to several genres, and was excellent throughout. There was also a lot of humour, much of it bordering on the Monty Python. Well worth making the trip.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I know TUKUO and the UOGB are two different groups (I have seen the UOGB live too).
Bo-gus detector activated.
Delete- Similarities to other bogus posts that compare the TUKUO to Monty Python.
- Need to mention British authenticity.
- Preempts argument that TUKUO is passing themselves off as the UOGB in Europe.
Love that original song, "the alto blues" .. just about sums it up for me.. Who is the artist?
