Mighty Uke is playing on the Knowledge Network (on Bell TV) October 29 @ 9 pm and Oct 30 @ 12 am.  On the night of the broadcast and for several days later it may also be available on-line at knowledge.ca

 

Once favoured by Hawaiian royalty and Hollywood musicals, the ukulele faded into obscurity with the rise of the rock and roll guitars. But the mighty uke is making a comeback! In this delightful, toe-tapping documentary, we meet fans and musicians from around the world. Among them is BC's own Langley Ukulele Ensemble, a group of young people whose repertoire goes far beyond 'Tiny Bubbles'.

Jude showed us a neat foot shaker that she made from a hollow plastic egg and a clothespin.
Here is a youtube video of how to do that:


Jill also made a couple from old pill bottles. We used "Gorilla Glue" but hot glue would work. White glue is not strong enough I think. We also used "Mung Beans" because they gave the tone we wanted. I suspect any small dried pea or bean would work.
