This week on the program we’ll feature music on the ukulele. It’s a handy instrument that’s accessible yet works for many ability levels and different kinds of music, too. You’ll hear Jake Shimabukuro, The Dustbowl Revival, Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer, Gerald Ross, and more. A cheerful addition to your listening … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
