FOUND! Little Laura Dukes Playing Ukulele 1970s


This video made my day! They called her "Little Bit". I had no idea that there was a film of Little Laura Dukes, my favorite ukulele player! I blogged about her once and did this painting of her in 1993. Here is a LINK to my blog post (and my painting with complete frame).
Thanks, Kirk Taylor for alerting me to this video and thanks bobany1 for providing video.
