Not the best, mind you, but if you had to make a list of the most well-known ukulele players, alive or dead, who would you put in your top 10? Top 20? Top 50? These are the names that non-uke players think of when they learn you play uke.."Oh just like _____" I'm not including people like Don Ho, Elvis, George Harrison or Eddie Vedder, who also played ukulele, but were famous for their other works.
I'm gonna start...
1. George Formby
2. Herbert Khaury (Tiny Tim)
3. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
4. Jake Shimabukuro
5. Julia Nunes
6. Aldrine Guerrero
7. Jim Beloff
8. Taimane Gardner
9. Bittni Paiva
10. Michael Lynch
11. Genoa Keawe
12. Daniel Ho
13. Honoka & Azita
14. Eddie Kamae
15. James Hill
16. Derick Sebastian
17. That little Japanese prodigy... the 5 year old.
18. Ukulele Bartt
19. Doctor Sparkles
20. David King
Of course, for the second half of the list, anyone else might come up with an entirely different group... but for the top 10... Anyone I'm forgetting here?
