This little guy seems to have it all going! This was performed at a festival in Japan. Rio is a little virtuoso! It is exciting to see the youth getting involved with the Ukulele. It is NO LONGER a toy in peoples minds. It is finally being recognized as a wonderful instrument, thanks the the Mraz's, Shimabukuro's and those like them in the music industry. Enjoy! And Happy 4th to you all!!
A place where you can find all things Ukulele. Sites with songs and chords, Local Jams, Ukulele Product Sites, Festivals and Venues
What is a 30's Uke Girl up to these days??
- 30s Uke Girl
- I’m a lifelong musician, been writing songs since I was 16. And, they got better with time and practice. Everything gets better with practice! As a wise man once said, “Don’t practice till you get it right, practice till you can’t get it wrong!” I love teaching ukulele, and also teaching voice and of course, songwriting. A song is nothing more than a story, and if you sing it as if it were a play, then you are using your voice correctly. If you write it as if it were a play, you engage the listeners. And bonus, if you use an instrument as an extension of your feelings, you can make the song soar. I intend to use this blog for the promotion of my ukulele passion, to introduce performers, review instruments, luthiers, and give links to great UKE websites. I also will keep links to festivals, events, and clubs. My other passion is biographical content, and I’ll be adding many of those, especially about the early artists from the 20s 30s 40s. A lost treasure trove of talent. Hope you enjoy the varied content. It will be eclectic, like me!
