The Ghost of the Ukulele

Ghost of the UkuleleA silly little offering for Halloween, this song came out in 1916, riding on the ukulele’s first wave of popularity:

“Last night in dreams I could plainly see the land of Honolulu far across the sea, I was on the beach at Waikiki, when a million ukuleles started chasing me . . .”

I’d hoped to do a video, but just didn’t have enough time. I hope you enjoy the music anyway! Send me videos if you make them! Happy Halloween!

More Halloween fun:

Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
