I know I already posted this. I meant for this to go on "Humble Baritonics" but since good buddy Ron Hale commented already it's just gonna stay twice. Great tune.
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.
My 45 of the Santo & Johnny tune was played to death back in those simpler times when instrumentals were common on the charts. Then came the Beatles & wordless pop songs disappeared from sight; not socially relevant, I suppose, or deemed just plain corny in the new rock pardigm.
ReplyDeleteJust did a bit of looking around, & S&J were inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame, as is only just, & with a touch of irony (intentional?), in the mid-'60s they made an LP of instrumental covers of the Mop Tops' tunes.
Mr. Duell evokes nostalgia for those earlier days with his video.
