am tuning my ukelele....

[Whoa_Nelly]

my dog has gas

am thinking of taking my dog and uke show on the road...

[Whoa_Nelly]

1. and no one cares

oh well....

am calm and focused and enjoying my lower-case letter zen typing

[reformedrepub]

3. tiny bubbles.....

nt

[opiate69]

2. Kick-ass headstock!

Did you have that custom-made?

[Whoa_Nelly]

4. well, bless your pea-pickin' heart, darlin'

i stole it....it's someone else's uke


...'nother reason gotta hit the road

[opiate69]

8. well damn.. you need to get yourself one like it!

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. You gotta uke?

I've been wanting to learn to play one for years.



I thought your dog had fleas, though. :shrug:

[grasswire]

6. so get one!

I've been wanting to do the same thing. Would it be possible to have a ukulele band on DU? I have a LOT of ukulele sheet music.

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. If I could just run out and buy a ukulele

I'd run out and buy something else... like a real camera. :cry:



Maybe I could trade one of my guitars for one? :shrug:

[grasswire]

12. I don't know how much ukes cost..

...but I know how to find out. And I know where to sell something else to get a uke.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Really, it's not a priority

Now, if Ukulele Dick called up and said "Hey, let's jam"... :bounce:

[grasswire]

16. don't forget Ukulele Ike

http://www.redhotjazz.com/cliffedwards.html

I recommend "Alabamy Bound"

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Good stuff!

Ukulele Dick is more of a parodist, I guess. On his first CD, he did nothing but covers in a "Paper Moon" style, complete with muted vocals as if they were sung through a megaphone. (He did "Paper Moon," in fact.) I loved it.

His second one's a different style: http://www.kokomomusic.com/cart/media/ud_story.html

18. here's another funny one

They say the pianist/vocalist is Rube Bloom.

20. I love stuff like that

Old, bad sound, great tunes. Got a whole DVD of vids like that from Netflix not long ago.

[grasswire]

21. what's the title of the DVD?

we're on netflix now, too

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Here 'tis

And just for S&G, the greatest song ever written: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oKPWIYPslM&mode=related&search=

23. Gene Krupa's drums are still being used

A fellow named Brooks Tegler has them. He plays in the D.C. metro area, with his own trio. I've seen them many a time, and that was cool.

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. i don't know how to play the uke

obviously :P

...and it's true

my dog has gas ;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. But you know how

to tune it? :shrug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

and have played one in the past...
