Heroes In Hawaiian Shirts: John King

Mad Gringo bids farewell to ukulele sensation John King. Yes, he had fast hands. Mad Gringo doesn't hold that against him. Fast hands are good on the fretboard and at the bar. I will stay mum on the other instances where they are useful. You can fill in the blanks.

The sweet sounds of the ukulele are distinctly Hawaiian. Four strings. Easier to handle than the six-string guitar. Maybe a little harder to hold but certainly easier to carry around the beach.

For your enjoyment, here's a video clip of John in action. Strum on.
