Famous Ukulele Players .....

Some of us take guff from the unenlightened for playing uke.  A lot of famous and successful people play uke.  Jeanne Robertson is one of them.  She is a successful comedienne and motivational speaker.  She was also the tallest woman to ever compete in the Miss America pageant.  She was Miss North Carolina.  And her talent was ..... you guessed it, playing uke.  Jeanne carries her uke around the country to her engagements.  While I was unable to find a video of her playing, I did find one of her doing one of her most famous routines, "Don't bungee jump nekkid."


Here is a pic of her during her term as Miss North Carolina:

    I've been longing for these kinds of ukuleles for years, and I was really excited to receive this ADM 21" Economic Soprano Ukulele Start Pack with Gig bag, Tuner, Brown once and for all! The style has become very popular in recent years, been seen constantly around. I can't wait to use them around! I look forward to using this ukulele for daily use in the future. The set is simple, classy, and they do the business. This is super economical for the price! They were shipped quickly and were well packaged. It looks exactly as pictured and is exactly as described in the listing. Get this product, I highly recommend!
