If I may stoop to cliche, let me
remark, “Where has the time gone?” It's been more than two years
since I posted on this blog, but not for lack of interest. Life has
been busy, and finding time to rehearse a new number and then spend
hours taping it and editing....well, it's always easier to postpone
it, of course. Next thing ya know, time has raced by.
However, I still get requests for some
of the songs I've shared here, and it's very rewarding to know I've
been able to share the great old compositions with new generations,
no matter how great or small their numbers. Thanks to all those who read, viewed and wrote!
And I must add—though I'm sure you
know it by now--that in the five years since I started this blog, the ukulele has become mainstream once again! I
don't know whether I feel happy or sad that my playing the uke is no
longer a charming eccentricity. Everyone knows someone who plays the
uke, I'd wager.
So keep those requests for music coming
in. And sooner or later I'll get around to posting more often, and
maybe even sharing a video performance. In the meantime, here's a clip of the
delightful Harry Rose, from those delightful vaudeville days!
