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.

Bosko & Honey's Safari at Mike DaSilva's Shop

Well, I am getting excited about about a new Mike DaSilva handcrafted ukulele for myself. The eBay sales are doing well and it feels good in these tough economic times to trade in little used items for a new treasure. I am pretty sure the photo above is of Janet Klein, famous ukulady. Hey, wouldn't it be fun to have a 1920's style dress-up night and play all oldtime songs? Below is Bosko and Honey's Safari visit to Mike DaSilva's shop to pick up her new thin-body Tenor. Honey is truly a sweety.

BOSKO & HONEY's NEW YEARS 2008 SAFARI COMPILATION VIDEO
I met Bosko & Honey in Santa Cruz at the special concert in Geno's shop. They are truly friendly people and great ambassadors for the ukulele. Honey told me that her teachers in school told her she wasn't musical. Amazing. Thanks B&H, HU
Whatever became of the episode that you did with Mike DaSilva?

AMAZING GENSBLUE, Japan, Christmas Tunes
A Bosko & Honey video...
Perhaps the best ukulele video made for 'Walking-Bass' Jazz (longneck?) ukulele. This is another "dancing fingers" ukulele video. His skill is amazing! Bosko and Honey produced a very cool video. Thanks HU
