I wonder about the Portugese "Cavaquinho". If it is like the
"braghina?" The references to "Eurotrash" seem unduly vitriolic and make me question the veracity of some of the information presented.
I always trust a more objective approach to a subject.

I've always admired Cliff Edwards (Ukelele Ike). Never thought Godfrey was tone deaf. If he's tone deaf than the author ought to be fair and lump Presley into his dubious classification.

The Uke is a pretty instrument and a wonderful accompaniment for singing. It's not an angry instrument.
