Abbie Cardwell, Helen Arney: Saturday UkeTube

At Christmas we should spare a thought for people less fortunate than ourselves – I write about the ukulele for a living so everyone is less fortunate than me – and there are two excellent ways to do it. Helen Arney is recording a ukulele video every day this month and all she’s asking is that you donate 79p to Shelter. And you should pick up Rocky and Balls’s charity single Grow a Mo before they take it down on Tuesday (even if they did spell my name the satanic way – yes, it’s even more satanic than spelling it this way).

Also this week: Cole Clark’s pin-up girl Abbie Cardwell showing she’s more than just a pretty face (and a shapely pair of legs), Sam ‘Mario Kart Love Song‘ Hart, Herman Vandecauter playing three songs from the Andes and plenty more.

    Well, one thing’s for sure, a tab for Spotlight wouldn’t go amiss. Such a beautiful song.

    Many thanks once again for broadening my musical horizons. :)

    So Ali Campbell and Aleister Crowley are not the same person after all. You learn something every day.

    I have a friend who writes it “Alasdair”. Yet somehow HE manages to turn it around by whinging about how nobody can spell it.

    byjimini, Nick and Jessica: It’s on its way.

    Acilius: Yeah, different people. He had enough on his plate architecting the New Labour government and singing with UB40.

    todd: I found it quite scary.

    Marlon: I’ve had all sorts of spellings. I think Alexster was the strangest.

    Following up on a recent post here: notice Sophie’s new uke. It sounds pretty enough, but it’s also very soft.

    Woodshed. Thank you very much for the post. I am humbled. it was a great opportunity to get me reacquainted with your site and some of the Great Work that others are doing. You really know how to pick them. Keep up the good work and I promise that I will be back to visit real soon (provided work does not make me a hermit).

    Peace and God Bless for the Holidays.
    Happy Festivus (for the rest of us too).

    Everyone else: Stoplight is up here.
