Roy Smeck - The master of ukulele player !

Yes, the bloke is undoubtedly a master of the instrument but is the video about music or showmanship? I think that it’s all about showmanship - it was probably lifted from a film so should we expect anything else? What I like is music so the video didn’t ‘hit the spot’ for me, but YMMV. The late John King was a master of the instrument too, I could happily listen to his videos for hours. John’s Videos contain little if any showmanship but are crammed full of music.

I'm a Roy Smeck fan also , I read his biography and now whenever I see him I think of the story of him with the Three Stooges.
 
John King and Roy Smeck are two entirely different performers who play entirely different music for different audiences. I like to listen to them both. But I love to watch Roy Smeck. Also our own George Elmes.
