have to ask myself, why a ukulele?



Why not a uke? They are beautiful instruments.

The man in the vid is Jake Shimabukuro. He's been pretty well known for a while in uke circles. He doesn't play it like most uke players with varied strums but uses different techniques like classical (seen in the vid), flamenco, etc.

The first time I heard him, he'd plugged in an electric ukulel and distorted it. The cat was playing blues on it!

This is a guy who is revolutionizing (some say unfortunately) the ukulele. The guy's just pretty damned bad ass!

Saw Jake last night at Akron U. First became aware of him at the Buffett concert in Pittsburgh 2 years ago. If you get a chance....$10 tickets!
