  • Oddly, I enjoyed the interview, even though the only word I understood was "ukulele".

    Is it JUST me or is anyone else bothered by how much music from the United States has influenced other cultures. I played this YouTube video because I was hoping to hear something in Italian. Instead I hear "Ring of Fire" and "House of the Rising Sun" sung in English.. This is like traveling to Europe and eating at a McDonalds. What's going on?!

  • Well Doug, I don't think there is a single straightforward answer to your question. I actually think you are making a very good point tough. Why you didn't hear anything in italian. I can only point out a few things. 1) It is difficult to have many people agree on what to play. 2) Finding italian music everyone likes is very hard. 3) beginners ukulele players find themselves more at ease w folk/acoustic music, and US music gives a lot of choice AND a common ground. 4) however I agree:it's a pity

  • I had a chuckle when you said "1) It is difficult to have so many (Italians) agree on what to play." That comment is priceless. In other words, "Because we can't agree on which Italian tune to play, we will punish EVERYBODY by playing something from America!"

    You know how Vietnamese cuisine is a mix of Asian and French influenced cooking? When the ukulele is played by other cultures, I like to see how they "cook with it". Together, all "uke cooks" benefit from this "new recipe".
