Bosko and Honey @ the Fleas' Nest



This past Thursday, we had a surprise visit from "Down Under." Ali Lexa invited the ukulele duo, Honey and Bosko to perform a few ditties at our meeting.
They are on a mini-tour of the states, starting from the NY Uke fest, and have been visiting uke clubs across the nation. Bosko carves, or  rather doodles out his living as a caricature artist, and learned to play the uke while sitting and waiting for customers. His partner, Honey, originally from Japan, learned from Bosko, sharing one uke bet. the two of them (she never played an instrument before  previously).  Their unique sound comes from a synchronization of the two ukes, which quite literally sounds like 4 ukes playing at once. Have a look at one of their videos:
