Ukulele Russ – Alaska’s Wild Man of the Ukulele misses Schio, Italy.

[Ukulele Russ]

Hey everyone out there in YOUkulele Land!!! My name is Ukulele Russ and I am Alaska’s only professional touring ukulele player / wild man. I live in the woods in a tiny dry cabin with my Fiancee on the edge of civilization in interior Alaska. You might ask, “What’s a dry cabin?”. Well that means we don’t have running water. We have been hauling our drinking / washing water in jugs and using an outhouse for quite some time now. It is a simple life. Not something that you would imagine when thinking about ukuleles. That is why this is the last ukulele frontier. Here I spend my time touring and playing shows and hunting / fishing for my freezer and harvesting wild edibles. My Fiance and I do not eat meat from the store. We like them wild!

Interesting thing about me is that I have a connection not only to the ukulele world community but to Italy. My mother’s side of the family is from Schio and I have many family members there. The sad thing is that It has been 15 years since I have seen them in person. I recently learned of the ukulele’s popularity in Italy and it really excited me. Perhaps one day I could come tour my motherland!

Please take the time to find me on youtube or at my website http://www.ukuleleruss.com — I have a different approach to the instrument that I think many people will enjoy.

Thank you Luca for putting this forum together so people from around the world can connect through ukuleles and they can translate it into their own language!

CHEERS!

One day my dream will come true and I will be able to return to Italy and play cartoon songs… and other classy stuff on my ukulele.

One of my favorite memories was watching a band in a park in Schio. My cousin Antonio brought me there and we sat and listened to the band play old 50s/60s rock and roll songs with in obvious Italian English accent. It is one of the memories from my teen years that I believe got me into playing music. I’m just glad I found the ukulele.
