Al Wood’s roundups of ukulele videos have been a highlight of Saturdays for many years now; the latest installment is no exception. My particular favorites from this list were the last three, from Maiah Wynne and Dreadlight, Laura Currie, and Randy Gapasin.

There were two other videos posted last week that would also have been worthy of inclusion. One appeared on YouTube late in the week, perhaps after Al had finalized the list. It is John R. Hazzard’s first performance video in two years, and it’s worth the wait:
