The musical talent graveyard is well populated with flash in the pan performers, stubborn egomaniacs, one
hit wonders, and other misfits who couldn't adapt to changing times. An inability to yield to
the tastes of the crowd means fading away or worse.
No man bucks this trend more than Ukulele Dick, a.k.a. Ukulele Dick. Sometimes described as a musical
chameleon, other times as a trend-setting leech, no other musician can boast such a phenomenal breadth - if sometimes
lacking in depth - of experience. Ukulele Dick's career has been shrouded in mystery for years, making him
the subject of countless bouts of failed investigative journalism and documentaries (You may have seen an episode of
"In Search Of," hosted by Leonard Nimoy).
However, much new archival information has recently become available, thanks to an amazing chance discovery by
cross-Pacific rower, James Tutt. While trying to break his own record to Hawaii, James came across a
steamer trunk bobbing in the water. How it got there is anyone's guess, but inside was a cache of letters,
rough recordings,and photos that greatly helped in the assemblage of the most complete history of Ukulele Dick ever
compiled.
Learn much more about Ukulele Dick and his music, and see many of his chameleon identities by visiting our Archives
section.
