Jeff's Flickr Fotos

Hello readers and visitors of Humble Baritonics. I have experimented with a few things on this blog over the last three years. One of those things was an attempt to build a baritone ukulele e-community for sharing music, videos, tutorials, books, etc that would be beneficial for the bari-uke player or those just exploring some musical options. 

I have requested photos, taken and been offered photos of baritone ukulele players from around the world to share on the blog. Today, I logged on to my flickr account and saw some changes as well as a small selection of the wonderful photos that I have collected. I thought some of you might interested in seeing these photos too so I am sharing the link... http://www.flickr.com/photos/48282085@N08/

I am also going to let you know I would be glad to include more photos that you may want to share.

The Haunted Windchimes || An Interview

Capturing the energy!



What A Wonderful Uke

Nice story and lovely playing...



Stephanie Jackson turns her magic toward the baritone ukulele. She's playing a Kohala baritone uke in this self-produced video, using her own arrangement.

Stephanie is a consummate professional, and always delivers a dynamite performance. Many of her videos are studio productions, but she did this one at home, and it came out great.

Ken Middleton (Rep.) || Ohana Ukulele Review

Desirae Garcia || Treat Me Kind (Mike Clark cover)

I saw Desirae once play and sing live with The Haunted Windchimes in Santa Cruz, California. I love this song sung so sweetly and simply. The video is perfectly shot. No fancy chords but a solid sound.

Kissing88 || Perhaps Love (Bari & Ocarina)

Pabrizzer || The Highway Patrol (Junior Brown cover)

Thanks to Pabrizzer for sharing a good variety of songs. Many are new to me. I appreciate the different chord embellishments and his showin' off some techniques that add flavor to one's playing. 


Junior Brown has another song which I like to play a simplified Blues version of it. It is called "My Wife Thinks You're Dead." If you're interested in my simplified version, send me an email, humbleuker@g.m.a.i.l.com (remove the periods as necessary), and I'll send you a copy.

I have been less attentive to blog posts lately since I been selected for 4 weeks of jury duty and have to take care of my several jobs that I am managing for a steel fabricator in Fremont, California. I hope that I will be able to see Aaron & Nicole but I may just have too many commitments to handle it all right now.
