Too beautifully weird to pass up!

Pretty sure that banging on someone else’s ukulele with drum sticks defies all the rules of ukulele etiquette!

I talk more about Buster Keaton and the ukulele over here.

  1. That’s a treat, not only seeing Keaton chord so deftly, but also Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike) in his very pre-Jiminy Cricket days.

    • Agreed! I’m a big fan of both, so pretty great to see ’em together. I think a lot of these old entertainers had a huge store of hidden skills they could pull out when the time was right!
