I thought the Ukelele was a joke instrument

Nope. When someone says ukelele I usually think of this guy.

Man, oh man.

For my money there is only one guy I can ever think of when it comes to ukuleles and that's Cliff Edwards, also known better as "Ukulele Ike" or even FAR better known as the voice of Jiminy Cricket.

Amazing voice, amazing talent, after making millions for Disney, died penniless, discovered in the morgue one night at UCLA by some kid who, when he read the toe tag, remembered the name. Otherwise would have been burried in an unmarked grave for vagrants.

Brings back fond memories of my 2nd grade teacher who played ukelele and taught all of us to do the same.

My dad took it upon himself to bring ukeleles home from Hawaii for all of us in 2nd grade and we learned how to play for our music class.

Of course, as 2nd graders, none of us got anywhere -near- the talent of Jake (the guy's link you posted) but it started many of us on more artistic endeavors during our school years.

Thanks for the link. Brought a smile to me today.
