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.

No Tears In Heaven / Todd B. (doogey9)
Alistair Wood is back posting the best videos. This song was truly heartfelt and beautifully performed by Todd B. (Doogey9 on YT). I have listened to several of his songs, read some of his responses about the good sounds coming from cheap ukuleles, and check out his el cheapo foot percussion accompaniment. Great fun! We all should have a sign for "ukulele break time"
Al always get me started with some great stuff to research.
I have been thinking about those touches, "riffs" and "runs" that bring sweetness to a song. This video has those. I would like to explore this more for different keys. I think when Uncle Larry Martin gets back from Hawaii I am going to have to pay him a visit.
IT IS SO VERY TRUE...
