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.
PotofBasil mentioned Faun in a comment to a recent post. As the ukulele explosion has gone viral - I have enjoyed all aspects of the instrument and the many ways that one my play it. There are many recent popular songs, songs from the vaudeville era, rag-time uke, bluegrass, electric uke, rock uke, etc... As well as strummed, picked and playing chord melodies. But this song reminds me of another wave of appreciation too. Classical and medieval music arrangements on the ukulele are becoming more and more popular.
Many thanks to: John King, Herman Vandecauter, Wilfred Welti, Colin R. Tribe, Valery Sauvage, Jamie Holding, and R.Ruthen for sharing their music and arrangements with the ukulele community.
I also would like to mention Michael Parmenter and his medieval uke designs as well as some arrangements.
