Annette Hanshaw, Cliff Edwards - Singing in the rain

[ThomasBirrTsurkan]

Hallo Folks, it is not Cliff Edwards playing it is Frank Ferea on Steel guitar with unkown second guitar and ukelele. 20 August 1929.

The uke is playing the "chunk-chunk" rhythm behind the Hawaiian...along with a guitar. Through headphones, that ''crunch'' isn't a crunch at all but a uke strum. It's the very distinctive sound of a uke.

Cliff was the voice of Jimeny Crickett. I believe he was known as "Ukelele Ike".

ANNETTE SAID IN AN INTERVIEW: "IF YOU HEAR A UKULELE IN THERE (HER RECORDS)

THAT´S ME, PLAYING".

I GOT A 78 RPM RECORD BY ANNETTE HANSHAW

"PAGAN LOVE SONG" & "SINGING IN THE RAIN",

BUT "SINGING IN THE RAIN" IS INSTRUMENTAL,

BUT THE SAME BAND: FRANK FERERA TRIO.

SO I ´M WONDERING IF ANNETTE PLAYED THE

UKE ON THAT ONE.

I think she started the "that's all" about 1930 or a bit later.

[dadoctah]

@GryyzNood1 No, I've got a whole bunch of her recordings and she was doing it on most of the ones in '26.

[Julian9ehp]

Aw . . . she didn't say, "That's All!"

[raanan17]

Doesn't get any better than this .

[ragingbull7]

The uke is played by the voice of Jiminy Cricket! Ukelele Ike (Edwards)!

[StukInTexAss]

@ragingbull7 _There's no uke in this recording. The lead is a "Hawaiian" slide guitar.

[IGOROZKARSKY]

@StukInTexAss

To my ears there is definitly a Ukulele playing in this recording.

Listen especially to the last chord that´s definitly a Ukulele.

To prove my point listen to "LOOKING FOR A NEW MAMA",

by the late & great Mississippi blue yodler, Jimmie Rodgers,

he plays the ukulele himself , it´s his Martin ukulele,

& he does a bloody good job of it too !

Put this in the Youtube searchbox:

'Looking For A New Mama' JIMMIE RODGERS (1931) Blues Guitar Legend

plus this "Dear Old Sunny South By The Sea"- JIMMIE RODGERS

[StukInTexAss]

@IGOROZKARSKY -Nope. Don't agree. Last chord is a guitar crunch plus a slight rub across the steel-string. That's the high pitched sound you tink is a uke. I play/perform banjo, tenor banjo, ukulele, banjo uke and have messed around with a "Hawaiian" (acoustic) steel and I am more or less cognisant of how they sound thru vintage mics. If Hansaw was making noise with a uke it was negligible and the great uke stylist Edwards wouldn't have wasted his time.

Annette was backed up by Frank Ferera Trio on some of her records.

[heinbanjo12]

I hear a guitar and a slide guitar besides the uke.

Do you know who they are?

@IGOROZKARSKY _She may have used a uke to help her with the notes of brand new pop songs she was probably unfamiliar with.
