    I’m pretty sure the “beardo” in the Anna Janelle video is James Hill. I recognized both him and his uke… So now he is named. Other than beardo that is.

    Some beardo is actually her husband James Hill haha he doesn’t look the same with the beard.. He’s an awesome guy

    Nolan and Chris: Interesting. I’m going to say that if that guy tried for a solo career he might do pretty well.

    A good lover let’s her have sole billing, Al.
    I think James is better musically with Anne than playing solo.

    More comfortable, too. Jake is more of a solo artist. Yes, he plays with others, but still.

    Said it before, I’ll say it again: if Shelley
    played ukulele he’d be Paul Straws.

    These videos, by the by, are all the defense the
    instrument needs against anti-uke hate.

    Mind you, ukers bring on a lot of the stuff themselves. And not all of it is unjustified.

    Ron: This looks like being one of those rare occasions when we agree!

    Al, you may well be right about the solo career but there is no way the design of uke she is playing is going fo catch on.

    Yeah, that guy with the beard is okay, but he’ll never be truly great. As we know, all the truly great ukuleleists have been Canadian.

    Alistair: It does make more sense than baritone ukuleles though!

    Acilius: There’s not much else to do in Canada as I understand it.
