New Compilation CD

2009-07-09T14:10:48Z

"Square Pegs & Round Holes” is a compilation CD that was produced by Steve Boisen of The Barnkickers to benefit the American Asperger’s Association (AAA), a non-profit organization that provides free treatment to children with Asperger’s Syndrome which is a type of high functioning autism. The title track is new song by The Barnkickers and the 16 artists are all well-known in the uke community (and include Greg Hawkes of The Cars and 60's pop star/Grammy winner Ian Whitcomb) and the songs cover a wide variety of genres. The tracks by John King and John Kavanagh are among the last they ever recorded as both of these great artists sadly passed away since contributing to this project. You can obtain a copy of the CD here: http://cdbaby.com/cd/squarepegs and a digital version (minus the track by the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain) is now available here: http://www.digstation.com/AlbumDetails.aspx?albumid=ALB000031386 100% of the proceeds go the AAA so you can get some great music and help a great cause all at the same time.

Another loss in the ukulele community

2009-05-19T22:12:20Z

I just found out on FMM that John Kavanagh has died. "Apparently he had an asthsma attack while scuba diving in the North Atlantic. He was in a medically induced coma for a few days but there was too much time without oxygen for him to recover." It has certainly been a sad spring for the ukulele community.

In Memory of John King

2009-04-06T14:09:10Z

I'm sad to report that John King passed away on April 4th. If you don't have it his "Famous Solos & Duets for the Ukulele" is an excellent book and a great transition point from strumming to fingerpicking.

Shameless self promotion

If anyone is looking for a great uke send me an email. I'm keeping myself limited to 4 total to keep UAS at bay - so since I got a new one a few weeks ago one has to go and its a beauty - a Mahogany Josephine from Kepasa. Part of the proceeds will go to Ukeland/Ukecast related expenses too.

Wow a new song!

2009-02-17T05:37:58Z

Jon just sent in a new track Montpelier! Give it a listen! And if anyone else out there wants a players page feel free to send me an email!
