Jimmy Rodger's recordings with ukulele

Dear Old Sunny South by the Sea (1928)


Treasure's untold (1928)

My late brother Allan Stephen Hobbs (1956-1998) sang this song. He sang it well. Better than i can or ever could. I neglected my little brother. He should have been a star but instead he fell into hard times that killed him. While the world rushed by.




The Brakeman's Blues (1928) - can't find a copy where i can hear the ukulele)


Whisper your mother's name (1929)




Looking for a new mama (1931)
