UKULELE SAFARI - "Mighty Uke" documentary makers, interview - Tokyo, Japan
This is a cool film project ! Low & behold @ 2:18 Joel Eckhaus appears as one of the subjects of this documentary. Joel is a Ukulele stalwart in the United States, is an expert luthier, player & often you'll find him @ Uke gatherings or introducing us here in Maine where he lives , to incredible ukulele players like when he brought Aussie uke master AZO BELL a member of the Old Spice Boys who was beyond remarkably gifted, adept etc.
You can Check out some of Joel's Luthier work @ Ernest Instruments he recently made a strat uke that was given to the Boss for one of his 60th birthday presents (cool gift). Joel makes & plays them very very well. Joel and fellow musician Kris Eckhardt are in an entertaining duo: Dos Eckies and are scheduled to play my program Us Folk 16th October (Friday Morning) around 9 am
part of the semi annual ' B E G A T H O N " to support WMPG Community Radio here in Portland, Maine.
