Do Not E-X-T-E-R-M-I-N-A-T-E !

Unfortunately, a fun video like this has had the embedding and comments disabled. The United Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra plays again. I think that they should be un-disabled and let people vent, the poison pen has seemed to stiffle my enjoyment and the sharing of the free market of music.

I am amazed to see that TUKUO's (4) videos have about 450, 450, 800, 1050 hits as of today. I like these videos. From the previous post comments you would think they were Daleks attacking the Ukulele Cosmos. I live in California but I am a great fan of BBC Mystery videos and Doctor Who. HU

The Eternal Ukulele Questions...

Hillary Clinton and John McCain are the talking heads which spout out the "blither" that is commonly posted on ukulele club bulletin boards. They speak of the "Cosmos" which I believe to be a reference to Alli Bee's Exceptional Ukulele Cosmos Bulletin Board. http://www.ukulelecosmos.com/ has an enormous amount of great conversation, information and musical challenges.

This video has many of those beginner questions (that I used to ask)...

SLOW BOAT TO CHINA // Frank Loesser

SLOW BOAT TO CHINA

Another great ukulele resource is out of England called, http://www.ukulelecosmos.com/ I often go here for research and dry English humor. There are many topics to dive into in their forums. They have a gizmo where they chose a song of the month and people submit their versions, and sometimes they are crazy or good. I saw one month they chose Slow Boat to China.

My friend, Sue Graziano, wants me to sing Slow Boat to China in Swedish at the next ukulele club of Santa Cruz open mic. I’ll put the Swedish language video at the bottom. Be sure to listen to the duet with Craig Robertson & Karen Langlie of Ukulele Noir in Boston.

SURF CITY SHIRLEY

This video is about 9 minutes long. Shirley plays the song. Then she plays it again showing the chords for a play along. The vamp is discussed G7-C7-F, G7-C7-F. Shirley then discusses a triple strum and a latin/brush/roll stroke.
