I remember as a kid growing up in California in the 60s and 70s. Our grandma, who was born in 1913, would whip out her ukulele on special occasions. She would break out into a little ditty and us kids loved it so much! I miss that ❤
There was an automobile company who included a ukulele in the glove compartment of their cars, to allow passengers to entertain themselves during long drives in the days before car radios.
The ad reads "made of Kao wood..." It should read Koa Wood. Some little details to add to your presentation....ukulele translates roughly to jumping flea....the original instrument and related music were introduced to the Islands by Portuguese immigrants....and the popularity of this specific genre was promoted by King Kalākaua. A patron of the arts, he incorporated it into performances at royal gatherings. And now you know....a hui hou from Kauai.
Being from the UK, my only real association with the ukulele is George Formby. It was pretty interesting to see a wider perspective on ukulele-based entertainment.
I found one of those at a flea market for $5 or $10 a couple of years ago. I haven't gotten around to restringing it yet, but it looks like it'll be fun to play.@@geoffreypiltz271
George Formby added the ukulele to his act pretty early on, because copying his famous dead father's act wasn't working out that great for him. His biography is really a sad story, I've read every book about him I could get my hands on. He started out on a wooden uke and then soon afterwards got a banjo uke and the rest is history, as they say, but his real heyday was making records and comedy films in the 1930's and 40's till the end of the war, and entertaining the troops with ENSA. The rest of the world loved him but he was mostly unknown in the US. People still try to copy his very unique playing style but he was a one of a kind. 💖🪕🇬🇧
the 1920s were the first wave of ukulele madness. the second wave was launched in the 1950s by Arthur Godfrey. we are in the third wave now and it’s already lasted longer than the first two put together. rock that uke!
"If you like a ukulele lady Ukulele lady like-a you..." (Anyone remember that British song?) The hero of King Vidor's 1928 silent classic THE CROWD played a ukulele. (In the 1930s sequel OUR DAILY BREAD he traded it for a scrawny chicken!) They'd tune ukuleles to the melody "My dog has fleas!" (sol-do-mi-la)
@@square-on-wheels , on music promoter Douglas Reynolds' channel there's footage of David Lindley playing ukuleles at a uke-fest in Vegas. One of them is a *resonator* ukulele, set up to play lap-steel style. It's wonderfully nasty!
Godfrey talked about Hawaii on his programs, accompanied his singing on a uke, and sold plastic Eminee "Flamingo ukes" with his picture on the box, the enclosed songbook, and the "Arthur Godfrey uke player attachment," a plastic device that fitted over the first four frets and provided push buttons for a few chords. I escaped my Junior High School accordion lessons by swapping an instrument with 120 chord buttons to one with only six!
Thank you for sharing this, I love the sound of a ukulele, also the young Hawaiian singer, Ike, played " Somewhere Over The Rainbow" so beautifully, here in the Orange Public Library, you can take ukulele lessons for free, any age is welcome, you are the cat's pajamas and Happy Holidays to you and everyone 🎄🎁😊!
Back when I was a lad over 70 years ago my dad had a George Formby Banjolele and taught himself the guitar which he went on to teach at night classes, just as a hobby.
I also suspect the ukeleles ability to cut through is what made it popular, same with the tenor banjo. If you're singing with a whole group of other musicians into a big horn to record onto a shellac disks, or crowding around a small radio microphone, you want an instrument with the power to carry, which this has, it never gets lost in the mix in a world where levels could not be artificially controlled.
Two fellows involved in the ukulele craze of the 1920’s were Alvin and Kelvin Keech from Hawaii. The Keech Brothers built banjoleles, and there is a short snippet of Alvin going wild on a ukulele in the British Pathe film archives. Kelvin was in a band called the White Lyres with my great uncle. Dance bands of this era used the 4 string banjo as an instrument because of the volume. So, there was a bit of crossover from banjo players to ukulele players as some of the larger ukuleles could be tuned and played in the same way. I still have one of my great uncles pitch pipes from the 1920’s, a Hohner #10 with ADF#B.
This was great! I'm going to suggest Singing in the Rain as one of the songs we can learn in class. We have quite a range in our repertoire so this will be an excellent addition!
Ukulele is still popular in Key West. The monthly "Uke Night" at the famous Green Parrot bar will draw 60 to 80 players and pack the place with audience members. You will also see uke groups meeting weekly out in a public park.
Got my first soprano ukulele 24 years ago and managed to snag a 1928 Camp ukulele from an estate sale a couple of years later from an online auction. I've had several more soprano ukuleles since then and gifted a couple of them to great nephews recently. They're pretty therapeutic to me as depression drifts away while playing. There's just something about the sound; which may be partially responsible for their popularity coming into the picture after the end of World War I. People needed something uplifting. =)
In the series Boardwalk Empire there are a few scenes where the ladies working in a cathouse were also playing a ukelele, as well as some ladies who were entertaining guests who were in a hotel room at the request of one of some of the characters.
Being old, I'd left off guitar-playing 30 years earlier. Then one day I picked up my granddaughter's uke, and I was hooked--uke, guitalele (6-string uke), and again even guitar. There's something about small, handy, non-pretentious instruments.
I interviewed him years ago when he was a headline act at the Clyde Beatty, Cole Bros. Circus. He was genuinely a very nice man. Also, when he'd do his show, I saw children, parents and grand-parents ALL clapping and singing along. I think he was probably the best entertainer I've ever seen.@@roberttelarket4934

They are so much easier to carry around. Guitars are not very portable, but a yukelele can be carried in a backpack, so it can go anywhere, and be played anywhere. ❤🎶🎸🎻🎸🎶❤
@@JodyY808 - I never heard that pronunciation in 70 years. Thank you for this. So how is lei pronounced? When I got off the Hawaiian Island Hopper in 1976 I knew, with 12 cents in my pocket, that I would find and consume mangoes and coconuts. Islanders waited on the airport (Kahilui?) tarmac until passengers came down the jet's stairs and they shouted, in unison and very loudly - "Aah-lo-HA!" and the "ha" was very loud and articulated. That made me laugh. Then came the plastic leis.
I had only heard the soprano uke until my daughter learned to play in music camp. She fell in love with the instrument and the deeper sound of the concert ukulele. That's when I changed my mind.
You didn't mention Rudy Vallee. The ukulele was a big favorite of George Harrison. He played it the most in the last years of his life. When I saw Paul live a couple times he played 'Something' on a ukulele that George gave him!
@@saulchapnick1566, on music promoter Douglas Reynolds' channel you'll find a uke-fest concert video of multi-instrumentalist David Lindley playing a *resonator* ukulele like a lap steel. It's Awesome! Rest in Peace, David.....
I recently learned that Canadian achoolchildren learn the ukelele as commonly as US kids learn the flutophone or recorder. I wonder if it's popularity in the 20s is somehow related.
Yes. I commented pretty much the same thing. It can go anywhere and be played anywhere. Not quite so much with a guitar. It can be fit into a backpack.
there was also a polynesian craze...1950s I believe? I recall old family movies and my parents (was too young to remember) had this tiki bar. In fact one room was like half tiki
...if I picked it up it means it's back I guess! Greetings from Mexico City... I've seen several well known singes play recently. Natalia Lafourcade, Pepe Aguilar invited a trending ukulele player at his unplugged etc.

I don't know about Clara bow but Bessie love could actually play. See the movie They Learned About Women. Bessie plays the song A Man Of My Own. Also see Marjorie Babe Kane singing Wanna Find A Boy in the movie Sunny Skies. The movie is almost unwatchable save for Marjorie's performance. I have arrangements for both these songs
Roy Smeck was like the David Lindley of a hundred years ago, playing pretty much anything and everything with strings. I believe Gibson or Martin made a Roy Smeck guitar, and somebody made a Roy Smeck banjo as well.
I regret not buy a ukulele that must have been a 1920s college dorm instrument, it had 20s style cartoons drawn all over it. Not going to see that again....

The beauty of Hawaiian music is that it is played on the instrument held closest to the heart……..the ukulele. 🤙❣️🌴
Lol wow 🙄
It is very relaxing. I once had a young library coworker who was taking lessons at The Old Town School of Music about 8 or 9 years ago.
This was great! I'm going to suggest Singing in the Rain as one of the songs we can learn in class. We have quite a range in our repertoire so this will be an excellent addition!
If you want to update your arrangement of "Singing in the Rain", I suggest the one used in "Clockwork Orange", a more modern movie.
Still very old, but yeah, much less old.
Interesting history lesson. Thank you.
which led to the 1930's lapsteel trend...fifteen years later, the electric guitar, became the world's most popular instrument amongst young musicians
Ukulele is still popular in Key West. The monthly "Uke Night" at the famous Green Parrot bar will draw 60 to 80 players and pack the place with audience members. You will also see uke groups meeting weekly out in a public park.
being so much easier to learn the basics, and play than a six string guitar was, is a major factor

In the last 20 years or so the ukulele has become popular again. Likely for the same reasons as in the 1920s. I really enjoy playing mine.
A big part of that is many schools chose to use them instead of recorders
