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.

I love Ukulelezo... (She play's a mean uke)
Click blog title for Ukulelezo's YT page. No, I'm not a uke stalker. Zo has beautiful chord changes, supple fingers, and great strums. She also has some amazing imagination: creative songs, creative chords, funky songs from garage sale albums. She also did a duet with my favorite Swedish uker, BaronK69. HU

BARON K || YOUTUBE || SVERIGE || SWEDISH
BaronK69 sings with his Soul. I was doing the Ukulele Hunt stroll through videos and found that he lives in Sweden, the birth place of my mother. I have studied and studied Swedish but get such rare opportunities to hear or listen to it. This song is extremely beautiful and heartfelt: Ängeln i Rummet translates to The Angel in the Room. (BaronK69 includes an English translation if you click on the 'more info' portion on YT)
Here he collaborates with the Canadian ukebabe, Ukulelezo! UZo sings from a deep spot inside too. Had to post this one. Baron' s YT page is http://www.youtube.com/baronk69 and Zo's is
