Pop's is a well known musician, based in Austin, and the founder of several bands. He routinely plays a uke and banjo. He has composed many songs, including a complete off-Broadway show for his Shorty Long* band. Pop's is a fixture in the Texas uke world and we in OK should know him. I like to call him a friend too.
The next time he comes to the Dallas area, we should get together and car pool to his show.
Pop's is also an accomplished uke teacher and if we ever want to bring in a professional for a workshop in
Tulsa, he would be a good choice.
I cannot seem to get this link to show so you will have to click on it to see it. In this clip he is performing several of his own songs.
Please note that for the most part he is using a simple strum so it shows what can be done with a simple right hand technique.
