As someone that has been playing the ukulele for over forty years; I'll take Tiny over Jake any day of the week.
Taking nothing away from Jake (he is a once in a generation player); I started playing the ukulele because I enjoyed the Tin Pan Alley type songs, many of which were written with the ukulele in mind.
I've never once been offended by being asked if I could play "Tiptoe" ( any song that was introduced by Nick Lucas is OK in my book).
Sorry if I sound like an old crab,but I really get sick of all of the Tiny Tim bashing I see on ukulele websites.
He was a bit of an odd duck,but I always thought that the ukulele was kind of an instrument that appealed to oddballs and misfits.
Believe me,even today,if you want to fit in and/or be popular,learn to play the guitar instead.
I know that this will not endear me to many of the group here,but that is my take.
