You like-a Ukulele? Buster got Uke for U!

Well, it’s very possible you don’t know that you like Ukulele music, because you have not be introduced to the very astounding music of Jake Shimabukuro, which Buster is turning the household onto in his inimitable fashion.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to go all Bryn Terfel on young Jake (my heart is fast and true…and it’s pretty well loaded up between Bryn and Kiefer, these days, anyway), but you really must check out this fellow’s musicianship.

Start here with While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Yes, really.

Then check out Jake in Concert. Yes, really. A whole Ukulele concert.

Some of you know that Buster has been toying around with the uke for a while – in between the sax, the clarinet, the bassoon, the guitar, the keyboards, the singing, the blues harmonica, and yes the uke. His fascination is turning into a sickness, and these days he’s calling me to his computer everyday to watch another uke video on a site called Ukulele Disco. Yes, really.

You might like a jazzy uke Autumn Leaves. Or this sad girl with the flower behind her ear. Really.

There’s also Let’s Talk Dirty in Hawaiian, which is a little creepy, but then again, I was led to the site by a kid who thought going to the last day of school dressed up as a human jukebox (insert fifty cents and the door opens and he sings you the song of your choice) was the best idea anyone could possibly come up with, so…you know…(yes, I know, there are worse things…)

Enjoy.
