(Some Guy) Unlikely Ukelele called the "ultimate" punk rock instrument, as well as one of the most versatile ever invented. "It's a instrument which can do anything; hard rock, classical, as well as tin pan alley stuff from the '30s"   (thisiscroydontoday.co.uk) divider line 14

I think uke player Jake Shimabukuro (pops) is awesome.

David Bowie done on a few Ukeleles

Or some Ennio Morricone.

The ultimate punk rock instrument is a lobotomized brain. Preferably between the ages of 13-19.

This girl is amazing in the uke.

If you can get past the poor attempt at comedy recognizing foodstuffs as supporters of her imaginary award.... Just forward to the singing and playing.

Wow. This girl is what it's all about!

Allow me to voraciously second any and all Julia Nunes love.

Love Nunes' Uke skills, but some songs her voice is... not as good. Still quite amazing though.

Jake Shimabukuro is hardcore.

/loves him some Uke

Joe Strummer played the uke for tips on the London Underground as a kid.
aaaaaaaaaaaand I heard he knew a thing or two about punk.

/just sayin'

Just to be clear.... the Uke and drums are the official favorite instruments of fark right?

/loves both.

Gotta love Molly's My Hope

But Jake Shimabukuro playing Desperation Samba/Ave Maria/Stairway to Heavenduring a Buffett concert owns all. Never have I seen such a mass of drunks stop everything to listen.

Oh and new favorite song w/ uke is Always the Moon by Jonathan Coulton (song starts at 1:50)
