Ukulele & Bones Ragtime Duet

Here I am playing a somewhat improvised ragtime doo-dad made up of bits of tunes and rhythms that my friend Devin Champlin (of Gallus Brothers fame) is playing on an old Martin ukulele he's fixing up (as well as being a fine musician and singer, he's also a luthier and carpenter, as well as a local fashion plate). I'm playing bones made from cow ribs in my left hand (from the local supermarket), and bones made from buffalo ribs in my right. The ukulele is strung with vintage gut strings (except one, which broke and was replaced with Nylgut).

The "sticks" are called bones, or rhythm bones. You can get to my web page through my profile, and learn more about them, I have some links, lessons, and recordings there.
