BlueDeanCarcione's video: The Sheik of Araby - cover by Blue Dean Carcione

@The Sheik of Araby - cover by Blue Dean Carcione
This song was written in 1921 by Smith, Wheeler & Francis, while the US were into a Rodolfo Valentino frenzy after the movie "The Sheik" came out - mostly the female citizen. It's a really fine document of the tin-pan alley era, and it eventually became a jazz standard - many musicians, from Django Reinhardt to Louis Prima, have recorded it. My personal favorite is Leon Redbone's rendition - there are actually two of them, one from the 70's and the one he made more recently for Boardwalk Empire. Very different, equally awesome. That gem of a ukulele I'm playing is a MahiMahi 77g, a tenor, by gracious permission of Mercation dell'Ukulele (check them guys out! http://www.mercatinodellukulele.it/). Just out of frame is the Suitcase Drum Machine™ - the damn thing kept sliding away under my feet. Yes, of course the whole point of this video was rocking my new straw boater hat.
