While doing a little research on the ukulele, sparked by a recent thread (see below), I discovered in a review article, "The Real Ukulele", Acoustic Guitar, Nov. 1996, that the voice of Jiminy Cricket in Pinocchio (e.g. "When You Wish Upon A Star") was good old Ukulele Ike Edwards. Just thought I would post it for the h. of it. Never made the link. Yours, Peter

That's Cliff Edwards, of course. He was very popular long before Pinocchio, and even before he was known as Ukulele Ike..........Tiger

For what it's worth, my kids have been watching a video lately, a Disney release called "Fun and Fancy Free (?)" which features Jiminy Cricket and has a sort of "how made" documentary attached which shows Ukelele Ike and talks about him some. I think they taped it off the air but it could be from the library.

You wanna find a five-year-old? THAT's a risky thing to say on the Web there days; someone might misunderstand your intentions!

In partial expiation, I was misquoting Groucho Marx. (This is so simple, even a three year old child could understand it. Get me a three year old child, I can't make head or tails of it). Yours, Peter
