Canadian Ukeleleists

If your life is missing ukelele music played by Canadians, let's take care of that right now, shall we?

Ron Sexsmith & Rheostatics fans will recognize the name Don Kerr - drummer. He and a number of musical associates (including RS) have a little side project called The Kelele Brothers. In fact, it's basically the most recent Sexsmith band lineup, in luau shirts.

They've put out 2 discs to date and the second one "Has-Beens And Wives" is really fun (the first "Escape From Bover County" may also still be available from Don). It includes a Ron-penned tune called "Boredom & Loneliness", sung by Don. They also cover songs by Randy Newman, The Who, The Kinks, Jethro Tull & Chuck Mangione. Yipes you say? Hey, it's ukes!

Funny bits and also some beautiful passages, as only the uke can bring. If you're interested, write directly to Don Kerr, sending a check or money order to...

Don Kerr
P.O. Box 161 stn. C
Toronto Ontario CANADA M6J 3M9

the cost is $12 US or $16 Canadian (postage included)
And if you want 2 cd's the cost is 20 US or 28 Canadian.

Remember - UKE IT, DON'T NUKE IT!
