In this episode of the UkeStuff Podcast, host Chris Russell visits with one of the main catalysts for the current “Third Wave” of the ukulele, Jim Beloff. Jim has created 36 music books, three other books on ukulele, twelve audio recordings, five DVDs, two classical works for ukulele, one of the oldest and most respected ukulele websites (Flea Market Music), and has worked closely with his sister and brother-in-law to create a ukulele company (Magic Fluke).

He just released his memoir, UKEtopia! Adventures in the Ukulele World. To purchase (this is a referral link), go to https://amzn.to/30TjU9w

Jim also has provided a Spotify list of the music mentioned in the book, and the list can be accessed at: https://open.spotify.com/user/jimbeloff/playlist/7ocCb5fPfhwtzmievmR6VV?si=86a64e9e3c7443aa
