Description
In this wonderful collection Ian Whitcomb shows how to handle the uke in
such a romantic way that the gently murmuring strums
emerge to act as a
sweet stream of accompaniment upon which one's vocals can float along smoothly
and pleasingly. All of the
classic ballads included in this book were
originally published before the ukulele established itself as an instrument to
be taken
seriously by the pop industry, before it became the 1920's
equivalent of the rock guitar. The music on the companion compact
disc is
performed by Ian Whitcomb and his various bands and orchestras. The music is
written in standard notation with chord
symbols and fretboard diagrams for
soprano or tenor uke in standard (G-C-E-A) tuning. Lyrics are also included.
