Rock That Uke in PDX with PUA!

June 29-July 2, 2003

RTU co-director Sean Anderson stands outside the Clinton Street Theater in Portland despite his not actually being present.

The audience at the Clinton fills the house, lasting through both the documentary and the concert with no desertions despite record heat and no air conditioning. In front wearing a yellow marching band jacket is performer Brook Adams, curiously surrounded by empty seats.

The Portland Ukulele Association (PUA), lead by the magnificent Marianne Brogan, perform Has Anybody Seen My Gal? and Bye Bye Love, with Franics Doo on the end in a blue luau shirt. The silver throated Doo also performed solo, singing his original composition Walking With Angels.

From left to right : Evening's performers Jim Cser (The Duke of Uke), Brook Adams, Matthew Hattie Hein, and Baby Gramps take the stage during their respective sets. Both Cser and Adams performed their versions of the Sex Pistol's Anarchy in the UK. Hein sang a song about excessive drug consumption and Baby Gramps howled like Wildman Fisher doing a Popeye impression.
