    Did Bob Hope, Don Ho, or even Tiny Tim play the Ukulele or just strum it as a prop as they sang, or tried to sing for two out of that three

    There certainly has to be some bluegrass fans out there who can provide the names of real ukulele players

    My picks are tongue in cheek

    Personally, I never understood why the mighty ukulele was never promoted to a standard rock band instrument. I would love to see Keith Richards shredding on a ukulele!

    Are you kidding me? Accordion is a highly estimable instrument. This is a great tune with accordion in starring role.



    I am a fan of zydeco music too!

    The disrespect shown to the mighty accordion compels me to post a zydeco dance party.
