THE UKULELE OCCASIONAL - DEBUT ISSUE, SUMMER 2002 A sizable, absolute treasure trove of a magazine! For uke enthusiasts, by uke enthusiasts, with a focus on the mainland uke scene. There are tributes to uke legends Tiny Tim, Roy Smeck, and Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike). Jim Beloff offers a lesson for beginners.

Marc Weidenbaum interviews guitar god Les Paul about his early days backing a couple of uke celebrities. The story of how Peter Sellers came to play ukulele on a Steeleye Span song and a cartoon bio of Cliff Edwards help to raise the already over-the-top fun quotient. Lots of great photos! Engaging and well-written. Perfect bound. 128 pp. 588-1......$6.99 buy
