Various: Under The Ukulele Moon
[hpr048]

Since the ukulele is big again, let's return to the time when the Ukulele was first introduced into popular culture, as we present this compilation of recorded ukulele songs from public-domain collections.

These represent some of the best available tracks, lovingly curated by generous souls and we thank them for the time they've put into keeping these performances alive.

This compilation would not be possible without Michael Cumella (Mac) @ Antique Phonograph show on WFMU, archive.org, vitaphone blog, and The Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project at the University of California, Santa Barbara Library.
