Somehow this lost the LuteNet mailing address when it went out. May still be of interest to someone. DFH ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Daniel F Heiman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2005 09:35:21 -0500 Subject: Re: [VIHUELA] Re: uke as Baroque guitar
As Howard says, Jake Shimabukuro is a big star, but not only in Hawaii. He is a touring professional with at least 5 commercial CDs to his credit and another in the oven. On the Ukulele Disco page he has a video in which he gives a nice clear introduction on how to do one of his strums, a live concert clip, and another that is an interview (scroll down to "Season 4" and look for his name). He also has a nicely done web page of his own.
