Uke It!

This weekend the first Italian Ukulele festival "UKEit" is being held in Vicenza.
Once word got out that international Ukulele stars James Hill and Bosko and Honey had accepted the invitation, Italian players came pouring out of the woodwork. It looks like it's going to rock!
The event is the brainchild of the talented folks from "Istituto Barlumen" and they had such a good response that they even managed to produce a CD packed full of an eclectic array of Italian Ukulele tracks.
Track 15 on the CD is performed by a little known sword-swallower and closet Uke player. See if you can guess who it is by listening to this sample.
