Uke of Carl’s got his very own website! Which features an ebook of traditional Jewish music for the ukulele. Which might be the only way for me to cling to the remaining threads of my Judaism.

Muppet-esque Monster Posing with His Ukulele (Sketch)

Doodling whilst watching the Olympics. Apparently had The Muppet Movie lodged somewhere in my noggin — perhaps it’s Ludlow’s bounce-running like a Muppet, throwing his head back and yelling “yaaaaaaaaay” in a Kermit-y voice every time anyone does well (yes, your life would be much richer if you could see it, and yes, it’s prime Tumblr animated gif fodder, but, no, I’m resisting such a posting for the moment). Sketched with Brushes for iPad.

Of course, you can get in on the act — learn The Rainbow Connection, truly one of best amphibian tunes around, no?

• Watch Mike Lynch’s how-to lesson
• Grab the solo uke tabs from Ukulele Hunt
• My notes about finger plucking the intro (stolen from Ncinaz’s performance)
• Lyrics plus chords from Alligator Boogaloo

Some friends choose this song, played on a cello, in lieu of that traditional wedding march — not a dry eye in the house.

PS. Naturally the sketch makes an awesome iPad wallpaper. duh

A beautiful instrumental rendition of “Rainbow Connection” played by one of my all-time favorite people.

The glasses guy in this has some great moves.

You Only Live Twice, best Bond theme second only to Nobody Does It Better or that fake Bond theme from The Simpsons.

my dog showing her love for country music….

Love it.

Nellie McKay playing a Christmas song on the ukulele over the credits in this week’s episode of Mad Men? Someone’s marketing directly towards me specifically.

Important follow-up! This guy did a lovely version of “Beautiful Soup” on the electric ukulele.
