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.

Martin Ukulele Voyuer (Bearetube) (Ukulelezaza)
Martin Magic Ukulele Waltz (Ukulelezaza)
I must've posted this before. It was on Australian TV. Ah, what the heck, here's Terry C's pride and joy. It comes with papers too! -- It may be a HU rerun but we've all been indoctrinated to reruns over the last 50 years of TV!

Old-style improvisation by YT: Ukulelezaza
"Just a short improvisation on my three favourite chords. Usually they are Dm, Gm and A7, but this uke happens to be tuned up to D so they are in fact Em, Am and B7.I find myself fooling around with these chords quite often, never knowing what my fingers will do next, and every now and then I turn my camera on. It's different every time, and in this case it turned out pretty nice. Well, at least I think it did... " Ukulelezaza
