Arthur is often credited as the creator of the baritone ukulele. There is some debate on that topic. But there is no debate that during the 50's he had his own very popular TV show where he frequently played a baritone ukulele. Some of the videos are quite long but will show off the world in Mr. Godfrey's prime.

Don't know that I've ever seen him play since I was 3 or so. Pretty smooth.
ReplyDeleteMy mother loved Arhtur Godfrey and had him on as she did her housework . I did not like his personality at all, so when i was home, I'd go to my bedroom and listen to another program. I do remember some of his cohorts, though amd liked several of them.
