Ukulele Heroes: The Golden Age
Ukulele Heroes: The Golden Age, is typically Whitcombian in its eccentricity...It's all lavishly illustrated, and rendered with Whitcomb's trademark brio an admirable blend of deep research and language that's vivid, but never cloying. (Well...hardly ever.) If you have any interest in the history of pop music even if you think you're not interested in ukuleles, or the Hawaii, or vaudeville, or the Great Depression you owe it to yourself to read this monstrously entertaining book. Ian Whitcomb is just that good. --Kirkus Reviews
