Just had a look on my only ukulele album. The track doesn't appear.“Stars and Stripes Forever!” became a standard for aspiring ukulele players in the 30s. A prominent ukulele player of the 50s and 60s, Nelson Waikiki, played it at a cousin’s wedding reception.
I don’t think it’s on today’s ukulele players’ playlist, but this video took me back a few years and made me smile! …
Searched for a YouTube video of Nelson Waikiki playing “Stars and Stripes Forever” on the ukulele, but no luck. Here’s a version by Poncie Ponce, who played a taxi driver on “Hawaiian Eye,” an ABC detective series, 1959-1963. It’s similar to the way Nelson Waikiki played it.
