Friday Ukulelinks

With the How to Play Blues Ukulele ebook being harder to finish and a much bigger hit than I had expected, October has been a bit of a crazy month. I’ve decided to take a little rest from the blog, so after today there won’t be any more posts until next Friday.

The Online Ukulele Tuner has got a new design. Looks a whole lot worse, but it lets you select different tunings for individual strings. Although not, strangely, common uke variations like low-G and baritone tuning (you can find those on my ukulele tuning page).

Tom Jones and Colin Murray do a ukulele version of It’s Not Unusual (download part 5). It is quite unusual.

The Daily Record chats with Mr KazooKeyLele.

Steve Earle, Eric Drew Feldman and some people who I must admit I’ve never heard of join the Million Ukulele March. Only 999,952 to go (would have been 999,951 if they’d bothered to accept my add). And Ukulala finds what looks like a non-photoshopped picture of Obama with a uke.

More Wii ukulele: Flea Waltz, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.

I definitely shouldn’t have laughed at this.

Does anyone know where i can find a picture of a chimpanzee holding a ukulele aloft through a car sunroof?

    Alright, good timing. I’m off next week, too. No one has to die.

    Well earned, Woodshed. Well earned my son.

    Zoe: Thanks! I need to get round to having a go-cation some time next year.

    Lonna: Phew! But you might want to stock up on ammo ready for January.

    Iain: Cheers. I hope I can resist the temptation just to work through it.

    Woodshed: Thanks for the shoutout, but in the interest of fairness I must confess that I added the ukulele into the Obama picture myself.

    …although based on that lei around his neck, I DO think the uke was there in spirit before I added it!

    Dude, if McCain wins, I’m gonna shoot my mom in the face. She’d do it for me!
