Ukulele Bartt & Ukulollo - Across the Universe

A John Lennon 70th birthday collaboration. I think back to the sadness I felt the day that John Lennon was shot in 1980. The affect of Beatles music had on the world of music cannot be overstated. John had just come back with his Double Fantasy album and I think there was a feeling that this album was just the beginning of more great music.

I have had the pleasure to meet both Ukulele Bartt and Ukulollo at the Wine Country Ukulele Festival. It is a delight to meet the people that have created some of the best performances on YT. Bartt with the Disney classic When You Wish Upon a Star and Ukulollo's Bolero of multiple personalities. Disney, whom I would like would like the extra exposure, requested Bartt to remove the performance! I almost convinced Ukulollo to come to Burning Uke 8 with me.

W. Welti's Classical "Ribbbbbbiiiiitttttttt!

Haven't posted any classical ukulele for a while. Wwelti feels like an old friend though we have never met. This ukulele obsession has created a bond between so many people from all over the world. So YouTube is now 5 years old and I have been all around the world searching for musical knowledge on the humble instrument. Alistair Wood of Ukulele Hunt just had his site's 3rd anniversary so I went back and saw that I started Humble Uker on 8/28/08, I am getting close to two years in August.

I have been playing with the idea of anti-blogging, that is removing some posts, a finding posted videos that were taken down (and now blank) for some infringement. I heard from Ukulele Bartt that the Disney Corporation had him take down his "When You Wish Upon A Star" video. Seemed crazy to me, in my Humble opinion (IMHO), Bartt was stirring up nostalgia for Disney.
