\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This week’s LOUIE is a special performance that comes from the Kingsmen’s hometown in Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n

I just received a little correction on what I thought was a band called the Little White Uke. Here’s a correction from UkuleleDaddy<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

We\u2019re honored to be included on your blog! I just wanted to make a correction though. We\u2019re not a band called Little White Uke<\/strong>. We\u2019re just three guys who are part of a ukulele forum on Ukulele Underground<\/strong>. Another guy from that forum began something called The Little White Uke project<\/strong> last year. He sent this little white ukulele from one person to another around the world. Each person who receives the uke makes a vid of a song from where they live. Living in Portland we couldn\u2019t pass up the chance to record the most iconic song from our little corner of the world. That opening picture from our video shows the white uke with everyone\u2019s signature who has played it so far. From Portland it goes on to Canada.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With this mind, here’s the revised description….<\/p>\n

The players in this performance are participating in the Little White Uke Project<\/strong>. They are TheOnlyUkeThatMatters, Librainian<\/strong>, and UkuleleDaddy<\/strong>. This version includes a quick snippet from the Todd Snider<\/strong> song – “The Ballad Of The Kingsmen.”<\/p>\n

We’ll just call ’em The Ukelele Underground of Portland<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
