Yep, it’s Halloween weekend. Teenagers dressed as teenagers knocking on doors demanding ten pound notes or a bottle of Strongbow. Children begging for food. I love this weekend. And a quick search of the internet pulled up this banjolele Halloween number. Happy Halloween.

Bit slow on this one but I just stumbled across Mareva Galanter’s excellent album, Ukuyeye, on spotify. A Former Miss France, she has been a Model, and has also acted in a few films. She’s currently working with the band, Nouvelle Vague. The album is rather good in a very French kind of way. Ukulele, mixed in with an array of synths, shakers and drum machines, seems to work rather well.

Below is a video of her song, Pourquoi Pas Moi. Her other videos are worth a look. They parody the scopitone videos of the early sixties.
Katsuhiko Haida, I have no idea who you are because I can’t read Japanese but I like your style. I like it a lot.
Everyone loves cake so here’s a selection of ukulele novelty cakes I found on the Internet.
So you’re inspired by the cakes. Here’s a guide to making a ukulele cake I stumbled across. I must admit, at first I was in wonderment at the above items and then, after looking at that blog, I realised you can buy a cake tin shaped like a musical instrument. Who would have thought it? They still look great though with some delicate icing work.
Sadly, I think these ukuleles are for decoration only, but I’m sure there’s an authentic cocunut ukulele out there.
You put the lime in the cocunut ukulele.
