Ukulele Boudoir ==> Ukulelia ==> Humble Baritonics ==> You

There seems to be a kinship between bloggers. We all spend time hunting around the world and the internet searching for the latest and greatest on this humble instrument. Perhaps, in kindergarten, we were enthusiastic about "show-n-tell." Perhaps we just get excited about what we find and we just want to share. Very often the comments made on a blog come from others that also do blogs.

This video was brought to my attention by Gary of Ukulelia. It turns out that he lives within 20 miles of me yet I don't recall ever meeting him at any festival or other ukulele gathering. And Gary was perusing another blog called Ukulele Boudoir which is a French language blog.

The World is Waiting for a Sunrise (1919) [Baritone with GCEA Tuning]



Memories

Maccaferri Islander Baritone Ukulele!

Nice bit of ukulele history...

Brother Sunny | Baritone Ukulele

Brother Sonny aka Todd has such inspirational videos from both a ukulele standpoint and a soul standpoint. This song comes from within and it is pleasure to listen too.



I have a Baritone Ukulele and it gets a bit of use. I am trying to keep up this blog along with my HumbleUker blog because I feel that the Bari Uke has a richness of tone that can stand alone or be a great addition to a group of traditional re-entrant ukuleles. Todd is a great embassador for the Baritone sound.

Lately I have been using my Bari to practice the magic notes, improvisations, pentatonic scales, and much more from the Bajan Pied Pipers lessons of wisdom. I have an organized compilation of BPP videos in the THEORY part of the Humble Uker Blog. http://humbleuker.blogspot.com/
If you have any links to more Baritone music or TAB that you think go well in this Humble Baritonics blog, please let me know.
