    Always thought that Gracie was so cute just because she was standing next to George – but she really was a doll all on her own!

    Great collection of vids – as usual!!!!

    What’cha Gonna Do? Well, I’m gonna turn the volume up full-bore & listen until my brain explodes. And Craig, even though we always liked her in that dress, it serves Penny right for pulling the wings off flies.

    Love Yan Yalego’s blues singing and playing and thats a fantastic sound from that Ohana uke!
    Craig Robertson’s “Penny on the Tracks” is a wonderful example of his wry, dark humour delivered effortlessly!

    I saw Yan Yelego at the Belgium Uke Fest ’09.
    Who needs a guitar to play the blues?
    The Uke Rules!!
    Great stuff.

    Cheers for posting my Corrie theme Al – I wasn’t expecting that!

    Don’t forget folks (plug time) that the Re-entrants will be supporting the Lancashire Hotpots all over the North West from September to the run up to Christmas.

    Paul: It certainly does.

    Alan: He is a fantastic player. He’s accompanying Bosko and Honey on their Oz Safari. Should be great.

    Ian: No shit? I would have gone to see you at Foulds but I’m off to Venice on Saturday. Not that the wonders of the Renaissance could eclipse a few hours with The Re-entrants. Obviously.

    Hey Paul Tks for putting up the link to Chippy Tea. How does an Aussie know Chippy Tea, one might ask….I have family in Lancaster. When I sing this song to them, my nephews constantly correct my accent! I can almost sing Lancastrian like a native.

    All hail Yan Yelgo on a superb arrangement and performance of Robert Johnston’s Ramblin’ on my Mind. It’s just a straight 12-bar blues but he gives it such life and texture, it is one of the best uke performances of a blues I’ve seen. I’d love for someone with the talent and time to tab it out, or at least some of the best bits.
