I've owned ukuleles (and later banjo-ukes) from the age of 11, but I was only an average strummer, and I am a lousy singer which made the strumming seem worse (I also play guitar badly). My first 'how-to-play' uke book was the _E-Z Ukulele Method_, first published in 1924. I found a 'new' reprint for sale in August 2006 and bought a copy (my son wanted to know what happened to A-D). About that same time, I discovered that people play melodies on the uke (Bob Brozman's video), so I've been trying to make music ever since. Most of the arrangements here are my own, and they represent the early stage of my playing of them (usually within a day or so of working them out). So, some of the tunes I play better now, some of them I now play worse, and some I can now hardly play at all. Hope you like some of them.
