Dennis – apologies for getting to your ukulele post late.

I play one myself and adore the instrument.
Uke has gotten very hip in the UK, so for cool songs for your kid to play, you must check out the brilliant Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Here’s a great clip of them playing Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana:

There’s also a wonderful site with the wonderful name of Uke Hunt (maybe best not to explain that pun to your kid) that specialize in transcribing classic songs of all genres for ukulele with very helpful chord charts and video clips. Check ‘em out here:

Herp Albert’s “Tijuana Taxi” always rocks, regardless of what instrument…

Lucy Porter is pretty Hot….but for me Chelsea Handler is the funniest comedian.

Brian C: If Lucy Porter is funny, then yes, I agree. Otherwise, it’s April Macie:

Problem for me is, I don’t find April Macie all that funny.

OK… I have a new hell-gig story… I went to the Green Room a couple of hours early and the resturant was padlocked… It took a while to determine that the place had closed down a couple of weeks ago… I had contacted the owner several times through email this week, but since he’s isn’t very responsive I didn’t think anything about not getting answers…

Anyway, I went to a dozen nearby places, but couldn’t find a venue on such short notice, so I had to contact all the comics to let them know what happened…

Well, I guess I’m looking for a new room again…

Does anyone else agree with me that Lucy Porter is quite possibly the hottest stand up comedians out there. She’s deffo on my free pass list.

Thanks Lord Xynobus… I’ll force the kid to play those…

Tonight is the Green Room showcase on Hollywood Blvd, right next to Marilyn Monroe’s star… Yeah!

Personally Dennis I think that “Run to the Hills” by Iron Maiden or maybe “Evenflow” by Pearl Jam would be hilarious on a ukulele but maybe you want something more popular. I used to joke I wanted to learn the accordion so I could play “Comfortably Numb” on it.

I usually wait to pass judgement on things but that Fast & Funny thing sounds like just about the worst idea for a TV show that I’ve heard recently and the fact that it’s by folks who brought is LCS just makes it that much worse.

Fast/Funniest: Agreed – why can’t there just be real stand-up for adults on TV without the stupid reality-show angle and demeaning/belittling competitions.
