Paradise Wobble 3 reviews Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys
Coeur De Jeanette, 2000
A pleasing cd!
+ From Cover Art to Tunes, a Joy + Charming
Although somehow her records never capture her cuteness and charm, like her live shows. Her voice sounds different on record then in person, as strange as that may sound. That being said this is still a fine cd, and other than Banu Gibson, and Alex Pangman, Janet is one of the few female ...

Mel Bay Uke Ballads : A Treasury of 25 Love Songs Old and New Ian Whitcomb
Mel Bay Publications, 2001
In this wonderful treasure Ian Whitcomb shows how to handle the uke in such a romantic way that the gently murmuring strums emerge to act as a sweet stream of accompaniment upon which one's vocals can float along smoothly and pleasingly.

Rock That Uke 3 reviews Holly Hunter
Bald Guy With a Dent In His Head Productions, 2007
Great Fun
+ "Rock That Uke" Rocks!
Pro: This movie is great fun. Not sure why another reviewer was so upset, but maybe the movie hit a nerve? I have been playing the Ukulele, recording Uke CD's and performing worldwide for years as Tornadic Ukulele - and I found this movie to be hilarious, albeit in a slightly dark way. In the ...

Rock Odyssey: A Chronicle of the Sixties (1960's) 2 reviews Ian Whitcomb
Limelight Editions, 2004
in the top ten of 60's pop culture
+ A charming, witty, honest read about one man's journey......
If Oscar Wilde had knocked off a couple of chart-busting smasheroonis then this would be his account of the repercussions from sudden fame and the resulting crash at the bottom of the downward slope. Mr.Whitcomb has happily combined an hilarious account of his own unexpected 15 minutes along with a ...
