Gonzo Ukulele

Artist Ralph Steadman playing the Ukulele

 

Cartoonist and illustrator Ralph Steadman, probably best known for his work with author Hunter S. Thompson, is a Ukulele player.

Who knew?

As you can see in this clip, he knows his way around a Uke. He first picks up the Uke at 3:40 in the clip and again at 4:45.

Now, if he’d only apply his cartooning skills to a Uke, that would be something. A Gonzo Ukulele for sure.
