Fantastic! Ian played an older recording of this tune a week or two ago on his Wednesday evening show on Luxuria Radio (and if you're not listening to Luxuria you're really missing out -- www.luxuriamusic.com).
Gary, this really speaks to Ian's
true musical leanings, coming so soon upon the heels of his rock n roll career as it does.
When I found this one, I also found one of him of recent vintage in his back yard at home as part of a Chicago all-ages dance show. Ian's interacting with a young
lad with a sock puppet, singing Teddy Bear's Picnic with uke, made for a very nice bookmark effect with the video you posted here.
Ron, link please.
This is the song I heard that made me want to play uke. It was in a MacArthur video of Bill Irwin's "The Regard of Flight". His stage manager, Doug Skinner, played uke and did ventriloquism when nobody was around to stop him.

I never did learn to play the song, though. This duet is great.
YouTube of Irwin and Skinner:

Anyone know the location of the obligato lyrics?

Further YouTube exploration yields this version, the whole shebang (uke-less): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z32AEuLEilc
Such a good find, it's my current "trying to work this up" song.
Fyi, Ian included Pasadena in his Ukulele Heaven Songbook. http://www.picklehead.com/ian/songbooks.html
