Here is the line from the wake,
What doom is here! Rain ruth on those who whiskeyneck pottleslyde thy uke of bublin yore and let it naught be aloud. Laud have merci. |

| I think that's from the unpublished sequel, Gilligan's Wake, is it not? |

That's definately not from The Clancy Brothers. Sounds like a Morpeth Rant of another stripe, me thinks. It's got a Ruth in it, maybe it's inspired by the Old Testament? Sure appears to be down on slide ukulele,though. Good thing me no read dat book. I'm bound to try a slide on any string instrument I play, sooner or later. Just cause enquiring minds want to know. That part about Mercy Miss Percy, is that from ZZTop? Tonight, it ain't right. I've got to have me a week. But I'll be back for you, Jack, and next time I'll let the machine speak.

You guys are too clever. I was just being facetious. I can't flip words with experts like yourselves.

You inspired us, Hiram - you must share in the blame credit. |

Not a direct source per se, but there's at least one member of the forums at ukuleleunderground.com who plays slide ukulele. |

My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can. |

This guy does a pretty good job (song starts around 0:45):

The guy in the video is playing a baritone (19" scale) in open tuning with two wound strings, so he does get some volume out of it and he's playing guitar music on a uke. He also hits it pretty hard.

Try emailing Patrick Costello at this site. I think he has some info about slide ukulele.
