Mike Krabbers || I Got You to Thank MINOR KEY

I have copied Mike's comments from the YouTube comments (below). I have posted a few of his original song / bari videos in the past. Krabbers as I have known him, has created many original songs, and I had the pleasure of finding his select arrangements with the baritone ukulele.

For those with musical skills, the ability to create and recreate, to share and encourage others is awesome. I find it pretty incredible to find super talented and creative people from around the world that are creating music in this incredibly select world of baritone ukulele playing.

I enjoying the hunt of finding good videos that show of the talents of a wide variety of baritone ukulele players. To see Todd Baio, Michelle Blades, Dr Bekken, Krabbers, CinderellaLifestyle, OnlyUkeThatMatters, Aaron Keim, and hundreds of others share music and support players from all around the world is incredibly rewarding.

Well now, on to what Mike Krabbers has to share...

Roger Ruthen || pdf-Minstrel (Christmas Arrangements)

I have mentioned Roger's arrangements many times in the past here on Humble Baritonics. His site pdf-Minstrel is a compilation of his many years study with the guitar carried forward to the ukulele community. He has been a long-time friend of the ukulele community and very importantly an enthusiastic supporter of the baritone ukulele player.

He has shared with me that he has had some hand issues in the past and playing the ukulele gave him chances to keep playing. He also believes in the viability of the baritone ukulele as a solo instrument and as an instrument for the young, aspiring guitar player, to use in their development.

Roger let me know about his Christmas arrangements a while back and I got a bit lost, with the work part of my life, and forgot to post. (My apologies to Roger.) Below is a link to his Christmas arrangements...

pdf-Minstrel Christmas Tabs

Roger says his weather forecast in his part of Australia is for a Christmas day of 104 degrees. Having experienced all of my life in the northern hemisphere it is hard to think of a balmy Christmas. Although, Christmas in the S.F. Bay Area is forecasted to be 60 degrees and sunny.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

The Woodrow Instrument Co.

Wendy and I went to check out the Harvest Festival in San Jose, CA. She makes and sells Christmas and Halloween ceramic pieces. We wanted to find another good venue for her treasures.

 

A few aisles in, I came across a booth that caught my attention. A booth full of string instruments -- a wonderful selection of dulcimer style instruments. The founder, Dan Williams, played and handed over a variety of his creations for me to play. I have a standard mountain dulcimer that I have enjoyed. The dulcimer has metal strings and has totally different sound.

 

I told Dan about my obsession with the baritone ukulele and Humble Baritonics and he shared that he has a baritone ukulele. The Woodrow Instrument Co. makes a variety of these instruments in different woods and tones. Dan enjoyed sharing everything with Wendy and I, different woods and tones, sound hole ornamentation, tuners, banjo-like resonance, etc...

 

On his site, thewoodrow.com, he writes:

"The Woodrow instrument series is a cross between a banjo and an Appalachian dulcimer (or lap dulcimer). Played upright like the banjo, but having the dulcimer construction, gives these instruments the perfect style for Appalachian, bluegrass, celtic, and even blues music. Some styles have a real banjo like twang, while others have a more rounded and mellow sound. Each one is different, and the voice and personality vary from instrument to instrument."

Wendy bought me one today as a Christmas gift. So it is tucked away for the new year.
