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.

1920's HISTORICAL
--%^%--
Here's a YT video (below) that's a lot like an old silent movie. It talks about the 1920's as an era of prosperity, prohibition and fashion. It also has a great soundtrack. I always wondered where the term "flappers" came from and now I know thanks to this production by Sandra. Music by Duke Ellington and the Dixieland Jazz Band.
