  • Description

    Considered to be the dean of the fretted instrument family and one of the finest string instrumentalists of all time is, Roy Smeck – truly, "The Wizard of the Strings".

    The first eleven tracks of this CD showcase Roy on the ukulele and included is his first big solo, "Twelfth Street Rag" and his version of "Sweet Georgia Brown". Next up is the banjo and we are treated to all of its contagious rhythmic possibilities on tracks such as, "Say It with Music" and the ever popular, "The Sheik of Araby" and "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans".

    Finally we round off this collection with some guitar, mainly in the form of the Spanish guitar on original compositions of "Happy Polka", "Begin the Beguine" and "Tico Tico".

    Whatever instrument it may be and whatever your mood of the moment you will surely find it amongst the 31 tracks on offer here.
