In this episode of Uke Minutes, Aldrine gives a few fun facts about the origin of the ‘ukulele; its name, where it came from, and the ancestor instruments it was modeled after. For a much more comprehensive history of this marvelous little instrument, check out the following web-tastic presentations:

I cannot deal with that intro music thing when “Uke Minites” is shown. It’s like plucking or something. It’s so uncomfortable. Sounds like a crime investigation intro or a horror movie.
It’s seriously uncomfortable.
Hey Mike, I’ve added tag bubbles to all the episodes of Uke Minutes - so now, if you don’t want to, you can skip the intro altogether! Just press play, then click on the first tag bubble in the timeline. It’ll buffer from there, then play the episode, intro-free. Try it out, and let us know if it meets your approval. Aloha,
