Uke Jam

Friday, July 9th, 2010

A week and a half ago, a few dozen ukulele players gathered at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education in Harvard Square.

And what happened? Was “You Are My Sunshine” thoroughly and enthusiastically plinked?

In your uke-lovin’ heart, you already know the answer.

And HAD anyone, in fact, “Seen My Gal,” with her eyes of blue pigmentation and five foot two stature? (No, but many, many uke players – around 40, by my count – were on the case.)

It was a meeting of the Ukulele Union of Boston (there’s also a chapter in Harvard, Mass.). Any further questions about the jam or the groups are perhaps best answered by this fun video, reposted from HubArts – who, incidentally, also wrote a great Globe piece about the modern uke resurgence.
