CLIFF EDWARDS || UKULELE IKE || WESTERN MOVIES (Thanks to Terry C. in Australia)

Today, I woke up to a wonderful surprise of an e-mail from contributor Terry C. from Australia. Terry has provided Humble Uker blog articles on two of his loves: Martin Ukuleles and Ukulele Ike / Cliff Edwards over the last two years. He has now sent me links to several YT video links from later in Cliff's movie career - The Spaghetti Western phase - and the ukulele has been supplanted with the 4-string tenor guitar. What a great treat, enjoy!
