Ever wanted to ask Jake Shimabukuro a question? Now you can!!

UKISOCIETY · Jan 11, 2011

The radio station I work at is the media sponsor for Jake's appearance at the Kentucky Center in Louisville on January 28. I'll be interviewing him by phone before that date. I thought I'd give my UU friends a chance to chime in. We'll put a podcast of the interview online.

So, what would you ask Jake if you could?

Six times seven.

Oh man, what a neat opportunity Alan! I'm sure you can't wait to talk with Jake.

I would ask him, "Now that you've mastered a ukulele version of the very complex song "Bohemian Rhapsody", what's the next complicated song that you're planning to modify for the ukulele?"

I would ask Jake, "Who were your role models when you were young?"

Do you ever look online at message forums such as Ukulele Underground?

Ask him when his "official" tab book will be released. It's supposedly been in the works for quite some time now.

Alan, could you fix the spelling of his last name? I'd hate for him to come and view the forums and see his name misspelled. Its spelled Shimabukuro.

All good questions, but I'm scared to ask about the groupies.

Done. I always get the u and o mixed up!

Will you ever tour to Malaysia?

mendel · Jan 12, 2011

How do you cope with the pressure of being the modern face of the Ukulele, as well as the face that people worldwide see (alongside Israel Kamakawiwo'ole) when they begin to explore Hawaiian culture and begin to learn about the cultural impact the Ukulele has had?

You changed it in your first post, but you only have a limited amount of time in vBull (not sure what it's set for here) to edit the actual thread title. You can PM a mod to do that for you.

just wanted to say these are brilliant questions!!!!!...and Alan, you gotta ask the groupie question...c'mon...you know you want to.. he he

mm stan · Jan 12, 2011

How many countries have you played in???? and where was your biggest crowd??

chris3794 · Jan 12, 2011

Are you planning on going to Dallas anytime soon? teehee.

Ask him some of his memorable tour experiences he's received from Fans.. not about his experiences on tour because I think he might say something about buffet or someone he's played with. Who/what are some memorable fans/ people/experiences/moments that he can recall from AFTER the show where he meets people.

experimentjon · Jan 12, 2011

I'm curious as to where he likes to eat in Hawaii.

That's a good one! And ask him how many fans have brought their ukes for him to sign.

How many hours of dedicated practice a day did/do you put in to reach/maintain the level you have achieved on the 'ukulele?
