Feel free to include your own links (but they should be current, reasonably non-promotionally oriented (not a commercial for a group) and, preferably, from a site that isn't going to go down anytime soon). I plan to add the resulting "top 10" links to my web site. So far, I'm starting out with:

My Favorite ON-LINE Ukulele Videos:

AND CLIP I HERE:

(I still smile when I reflect the answer to the question (from Clip I at the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain's site:

"What is the difference between a sopranino and a bass ukulele?"

I realize this last one is commercially oriented, but it is also fairly humorous.)
Thank you.

... so I'm browsing the `uke section on ebay today, looking to lose some money, when I see a tenor cigar-box `uke for auction. Like most sellers, this guy has pics of the instrument from every conceivable angle. But in this case he also includes a link to what it sounds like:

Don't know that this is necessarily one of my all-time favorites, but I do kinda like it. What a way to make a sale.

This is really swell...and innovative. Is he a Taro Patch friend? He lays well, too.

Thanks for sharing.

I have no idea who he is, Wanda, but he has a nice fingerstyle and I'm guessing from his ebay ad that he might actually make these cigar-box ukes himself.

And I don't know how well he does that other thing you mentioned.

Here's one of the most amazing `ukulele performance I've ever seen. The group is called ABC, and the song is Chick Corea's arrangement of the Concierto de Aranjuez.

Here's Roy Smeck playing "Tiger Rag."

And for 17 minutes of `ukulele bliss -- starting with Led Ka`apana and including jaw dropping performances by everybody, check out JazzAlleyTVs documentary on the 2003 `Ukulele Festival. I love "The Twinklers":

Good thing I am not a secretary any more...I'd starve if I had to make a living at typing any more. I am not certain if he "lays" very well, but he does "play" very well.

I watched ABC. Nice music, but people doing vids for the internet should really be careful not to pull stuff out of facial orifices on camera...
Thank you.

Add this one - Greensleaves:

Roy Schmeck was a bit too "humorous" for my tastes, but he was clearly talented.
Thank you.
