To be honest, I've never taken the ukulele very seriously, until now...

Been playing this one on guitar for awhile.

We got my daughter a ukulele for her 3rd birthday earlier this month and now I'm trying to learn to play it on that.

I heard this guy interviewed on NPR awhile back, and of course he performed. I was really impressed.

We had Manitoba Hal locally. Pretty damn good. Quite bluesy, even!
Interesting lyrics as well.

Segments can be found you-know-where.

That was nice.

Too bad it had to be Eddie Vedder singing; his voice makes me want to kill kittens. He also always takes himself so incredibly seriously -- seems like a real wanker.

Been watching Jake for years now. Jake and his brother Bruce both have superb uke CDs out, with Jake by far the more prolific. If the uke isn't that special, Jake sure is. I've rarely seen anyone put out like he does, straight from his soul, every number a highlite. All the big names adore him, Obama/Jimmy Buffett/Bette Midler/The Queen, and he does lot's of charities and freebies.
