"Ukulele Noir is the brainchild of Craig Robertson, who I've been taking uke lessons from. He's put together a number of uke-centric bills in the area - really fun stuff that shows just how versatile the instrument can be. "Also of interest, Greg Hawkes who you may remember from the 80's band The Cars, has taken a shine to the ukulele and has performed at Ukulele Noir 1 and 2. (of course among other things, he has a number of Cars tunes in his ukulele repertoire!) "And Dave Wasser's band The Bag End Boys plays the Uke Noir shows too: (Dave is on the board at the Ukulele Hall of Fame in Rhode Island - a place I'm sure you've heard of!)" posted by Mark Frauenfelder at 9:37 AM permalink 0 comments :: click here to comment!

Monday, February 21, 2005"The arrangement can also be played on high 'G' (gCEA) tuning by not playing string 4 when there is a melody on sting 2 or 3. "There is standard notation and TAB with a PDF and ASCII TAB file available for download. Fun tune to play inspired by the James Hill recording. Also available is the Underworld Theme. "Also added two lessons based my new book A Guide to Blues Chord Progressions for Ukulele from A to Z using the chords from A Guide to Ukulele Chords."
