Ukuleles and Hillbilly Hulas
Hosted by Greg Denton with guest Ian Reid
This show was planned around the fact that guest musician, Ian Reid, performs sometimes with a ukulele. He will be performing this Sunday evening, August 17th, at the Cornerstone Cafe in downtown Guelph.
The Ukulele is a 19th Century Hawaiin variation of a small Portuguese guitar called a cavaquinho. It should also be noted that Hawaii officially entered the union of The United States of America on August 21, 1959, so this is an anniversary of sorts too.

5. Hula Boogie - Tommy Durden & The Westernaires
6. Her Name Was Hula Lou - Carolina Tar Heels
7. Hillbilly Hula Gal - Junior Brown
8. Boogie Woogie Gal - Jack Padgett The Texas Wrangler
Boogie Woogie Gal has nothing to do with ukuleles or hulas. It was a case of the wrong CD in the wrong case. ARGH, programmer's hell. We played the tune out and then played what we intended:
9. Hillbilly Hula - Jenks "Tex" Carman
The following three songs were recorded live in Scott Merritt's living room on a hand held digital recorder in late February 2006. While waiting for Evan Gordon to show up for a Dry Tickle mixing session, Scott delivered a very casual and impromtu concert of John Lennon songs on the ukulele. I had a terrible cold at the time and coughed during the recording. Just part of the "field recording" ethos.

12. Working Class Hero - Scott Merritt & His Ukulele
13. Ukulele Lady - Jim Kweskin Jug Band
14. No Wonder She's A Blushing Bride - Art Fowler & His Ukulele
15. Little Wing - James Hill
A gorgeous little bit of Jimmy Hendrix on two Ukuleles!

13. Sugar Hill - Homer Walker
14. Hills Of Home - Hazel Dickens
15. The Hills That I Call Home - Front Range
Front Range is a band that "emerged" out of Colorado in the 1990s, here singing a song about Vermont: "In the land of Ethan Allen/Where the sugar maples grow/Where the wild grass fills the meadows/And the rocky rivers flow". Noted for their "smooth" (I'd say edgeless) harmonies, the band sure pulls a lot of 'sap' out of those maples.
In the early 1770s, The Province of New York was selling land claims to prospective settlers in Vermont, ignoring those (Ethan Allen among them) with established title to land grants in the Bennington area. Ethan Allen led a group called The Green Mountain Boys in a guerilla rebellion against New York and was instrumental in the establishment of the "republic" and later the "state" of Vermont.
