Ukers in the San Francisco Bay Area there is the 15th Annual Ukulele Festival at the Old Sunset High School Quad and Auditorium in Hayward, California. It runs from 9:30am to about 5:00pm.

Friends of Dominator would like to know that he’s one of the first acts to perform in the auditorium.

I’m with you on every song you suggested. George Formby definitely deserves a mention. I’m a fan of his music. I tend not to mention him on the site because there are real Formby obsessives out there who know much more about him and his techniques. I’ll have to include Window Cleaner.

I wouldn’t say I hate While My, but I’ve heard it too many times. I’ll include Jake’s version though. It’s a very important part of the development of the ukulele.

in terms of definitive ukulele songs, its a bit difficult. There are some obvious ones such as Ukulele Lady, Tonight you belong to me, & I’ll see you in my dreams.

But there are also a load I (and some of my friends) associate with the ukulele, mainly because they’ve been floating round the internet long before your fine site achieved full world domination (and also because they are easy/fun to play) These include ‘I Wanna Be Like You’ and ‘Baby on Board.

Also, as much as some people hate him, i think you have to include a couple of GF songs ive you are talking of definitive uke songs (either the one about the peeping tom, or the one about the stalker)

…And finally, just to add my two penneth, I fucking hate ‘While my guitar gently weeps’!!
