After his long and well-earned Christmas vacation, Al Wood has resumed Ukulele Hunt, the web’s best site, with a terrific set of links.

Martin Luther King had a mustache, therefore Zoe likes him
Look for MLK at 1:31 in this video.
(I embedded the video previously, but not for MLK Day.)

Some recent ukulele videos from YouTube
Since Al Wood started his extended Christmas break and put Ukulele Hunt on hiatus, some of us have been suffering withdrawal pains. As a tribute to his Saturday UkeTube selections and in anticipation of his return next week, here are few videos I’ve been listening to lately.

Under the Covers, by Kate Sloan
Vangelis’ Missing, played by Ken Middleton
Tamacun, played by Brittni Paiva

Amanda Carr
Boston’s Amanda Carr is not only a vocalist, but a fine composer of jazz as well. Her MySpace page highlights some of her originals; here are two YouTube samples.
“If You Could See Me Now“- the notes on this video claim that Amanda Carr’s favorite movie is THX-1138. Her music gives me a high opinion of her, if she’s a fellow THXnik I have an even higher opinion.
A promotional video for 2009’s “Common Thread”
