Back by Popular Demand Dr. Uke and the Glastonbury Ukulele Band
Bring a chair and sit under the trees to enjoy this popular group, led by Dr. Jim Rosokoff (AKA "Dr. Uke"), a retired Glastonbury dermatologist. You can sing along to typical ukulele fare like “You Are My Sunshine” and “Five Foot Two” and other songs less readily associated with the ukulele, such as “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,” “Why Do Fools Fall In Love,” and “Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp-Ba-Bomp-Ba-Bomp).” Many genres of music are "on the table" for the band, including jazz, folk, rock, Elvis, Beatles, show tunes, and even Yiddish songs.
