Saturday UkeTube: Ugly, Hairy Man Edition

March 21, 2009

Back in the day I felt the need to argue that the ukulele wasn’t just for uggos like Tiny and Formby but sexy people played it too. How the times change. Now I feel the need to say, “Ugly men play the ukulele too.” So this edition of UkeTube features plenty of facial hair and stretched t-shirts; and smells of sweat and Lynx.

Of course, none of them are ugly. I’d snog each and every one.

John King and James Hill – Larry O’Gaff & Swallowtail Jigs

Patsy Monteleone – Blues in My Heart

Jason Arimoto – Gravity

    Ugly, hairy mans? I hope none of these guys are offended!
    But there’s something very charming about a big guy and little instrument…musical instrument, that is. If I ever saw a big guy playing the uke, I’d probably have the impulse to hug him.

    Emily: I did say in the post none of them are actually ugly.

    And I hope that wasn’t a double entendre in your comment. Because if I find any innuendo on this blog I whip it out immediately.

    Tamster: I’m very careful not to use the words ‘hairy’ or ‘ugly’ near any woman… again.

    tryan: No arguments there.

    todd: I wish he wasn’t so good, it’d save me the time spent trying to get his surname right.

    Love it woodshed! being an ugly younger uke player this helps me see my potential future, scary or not, still a uke in hand

    nowuh: Yup, there’s hope for us yet.

    Don’t know if they’ve been mentioned on-site, but Bertrand has posted some nice photos of a violin-shaped resonator uke made by Regis Thullier, on a 3/22 post on King David Ukulele Station. Part of the fun of the site for non-French speakers is fighting through the Google translation. A prime example of this is the 3/14 entry re: Jimmy McGee…

    ron: Yeah, I saw that post (here for anyone who didn’t). Looks incredible.
