I need to get back to my Cliff Edwards project, an attempt to make a ukulele songsheet for every song Cliff recorded. They aren't the most accurate adaptations and I strongly doubt I'll ever finish (not helped by pitiful music theory skills), but I'd like it to at least reach a point where others might find it useful.
Of course, if Cliff Edwards had had a normal career I'd be faced with a smaller task, but his recorded catalogue is *huge* despite falling out of favour in the early thirties and spending most of his life as a bankrupt alcoholic.
I always refer to him as “the Slowhand of the ukulele.” you watch him play and he’s not frantically thrashing with his right hand nor frenetically grabbing all over the fingerboard but there’s *lots* of movement in the chords and melodies he’s playing.
@howlinhobbit Absolutely. It's interesting watching how much motion is in his elbow too. I don't think anyone else had the same style.
