Play Your Uke on the Wild Side

This is for all those of you who have been kind enough to enquire after me, my wellbeing and my whereabouts. Thank you for your concern.

I am not yet back in a position where I can create videos and post regularly and frequently, but things are looking positive for the future and I hope to be back amongst the ukelele community soon.

In the meantime, I have managed to cobble together a little piece featuring a few members of the aforementioned ukulele community.

If you are not featured, please do not be offended - I only had five verses to play with.

If you ARE featured, please do not be offended - But I did have FIVE verses to fill afterall, and I had to pick someone!

If you are tickled by my feeble attempt at a humourous 'thanks', then you have caught the ball I threw - congratulations.

Enjoy

Check out the channels of those featured in this song for some ukeing good tunes:

Russbuss http://www.youtube.com/user/russbuss415
He has the looks, the voice and the style - Laid back, West Coast, ukulele coooool. He has a leaning for the nineties and a touch of the classics. Oh, and hats!

Krabbers http://www.youtube.com/user/krabbers
Classic tunes, original songs, live sets from the pub, and a great sense of humour. You want your uke fix a little left field and just a bit rockin? Then check this channel. Oh, yeah - there's hats here too!

Ken Middleton http://www.youtube.com/user/KenMiddletonUkulele
You want organised? This man has a channel for every compartment of his Youtube life. One thing you can be certain of is great music that is very well arranged and played - not so much with the headgear, though. Still, you can't have everything.

BaronK69 http://www.youtube.com/user/BaronK69
A song and a scowl. A swede with a uke and a growl. OK, I'm not selling him too well but he's really fantastic - honest! Again, not so much with the hats, but he is very big in the facial (not cranial) hair department.

Shas http://www.youtube.com/user/shas1814
What can I say? The sage of the Youtube ukers. The man for whom the phrase, "What a nice guy" was invented. You want some words of wisdom and thoughts to ponder with your uke-backed tunes? PLUS, facial AND cranial hair!
