Saturday UkeTube: Tafra, Puppini Sisters

April 11, 2009

The Puppini Sisters – Rum and Coca Cola

James Hill – Paperback Writer

Johnny Marvin – Oh How She Could Play A Ukulele

ReinaDelCid – Sell Nature

Rob MacKillop – Carney Jig, Circus Jig and Camptown Hornpipe

    really dig the submissions this week….enjoyed the Puppini sisters harmonies and style, but I really dug Fabio’s ‘La Crisi” song as well….the emotion kinda got a hold of me….

    cheers,

    Todd

    Every time I see a banjo!ukulele I like them even more but I think it is just because everyone who I have seen playing one is doing an amazing job.

    I love Todd’s voice and also the sign in the background just made me really happy on top of all that!

    Wow, thanks for turning me onto the Puppini Sisters! They’re just wonderful.

    cbf and todd: Looks like Fabio is the favourite this week – I’ll have to promote him to the front page.

    And what would a Fluke be without cheesy graphics?

    acilius: Thanks for mentioning me on your blog… again!

    Anne: You should get one. The banjo uke seems to have become a bit of a guy thing. I can’t think of a girl who played the banjo uke since Clara Bow.

    Jodi: I guess they haven’t made it over there yet. They’re fairly well known over here.

    There’s a local melbourne band, called Flap, which is kinda-sorta fronted by two people, one of whom – Jess Guille – sometimes plays a ukulele but sometimes goes for a banjo ukulele.
