Ukulele played by Johnny Marvin
Johnny Marvin was one of the great crooners of the 1920s, and his ukulele accompaniment was unsurpassed. In the decade when the ukulele was enjoying its greatest popularity, Marvin was one of the premiere ukulele performers. Although his name is not as recognized today as a few other 1920s ukulele artists, in his day he was a well-known radio personality and recording artist. Marvin made dozens of records both under his own name and as "Honey Duke and his Uke" and "The Ukulele Ace". Many of these records document his talented strumming patterns, vocal jazz effects that imitate other instruments, and his smooth crooning.

I've been learning the uke for just over a year now. This is so beautiful. UkuleleHunt picked-up my Red Lips video and I bet they get this one too. Cool type face at end.
