Uke Blog

This is a blog for the uke enthusiast and the budding uke player. When I started playing, there wasn't a clear path to follow in terms of learning, history, etc. This blog is meant to fill that need. I hope it is of some use to you.

Good song books...

As you may have noticed after picking up the uke, there's not exactly a goldmine of information and sheet music available to the average player. Enter Jim Beloff. The pied Piper of the modern Ukulele movement. Jim has done more for the instrument in the last ten years than just about anyone else, including publishing a dearth of great songbooks with arrangements that are specifically for Ukulele. I have been slowly working my way through "Jumpin' Jim Goes Hollywood" for the last few months and thoroughly enjoying it. All the Beloff books are available on Amazon and they all come highly recommended. Here is the link to the "Hollywood" book.
