The Cool Hand Ukes at the Harbor Cove Cafe 10/19/24
Today was the first day we played under our new stage/overhang, assuring us we won’t get pooped on the head by the birds above.
These are three songs that were videotaped by Cindy Carter and Lori Wolf thank you ladies.
The first one, People Get Ready is a song written & performed by Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions, sung by our lovely bass player Donna Eyman.
The second song, another “people song” is called “People Like You” written by Bobby McNelly and recorded by the group McGuffey Lane, friends of mine from Columbus, Ohio.
And the last song is the Bill Withers classic “Lean on Me.” All three of these songs are very positive songs with important messages.

My interview with Brad Rice for @thebradrice 9/10/24

The best part of being a working musician is the people you meet along the way. Brad Rice and I go back some 30 years, when I was singing at Adam’s Ribs in Encino and after that he used to come to Pickwick Pub in Woodland Hills. Over the years I have played some private parties for him and his family, I always liked Brad. As well as playing guitar and singing since elementary school, I was also...

Another Sunday Fun Day at the Lookout Bar & Grill with Gary & The Grooves

This Is a video we shot a couple weeks ago at The Lookout Bar & Grill. I kept it down to 5 minutes, but if you can, stay till the end because the last song, "Gangsta, Gangsta" is rockin’ with Donna on the beatbox and some cool choreography by the Grooves. August 8th, 2008, I got an e-mail from Gary Richards owner of a couple of bars in L.A, “The White Harte” and “Fox and Hounds.” I played for h...

Another Sunday Fun Day at the Lookout. This is my most requested medley I do, a real crowd pleaser. I started playing at The Lookout in 2009, fifteen years ago, three owners, and I still look forward to showing up every Sunday and having some fun. On this NWA medley our friend Ezra Verando provided the beat box and Helane, Donna and much of the crowd assisted me with the lyrics. garyballen.com/...

Since late February of 2022 our ukulele group the Cool Hand Ukes start every Saturday morning playing Ricky Nelson’s Hello Mary Lou.

Our Ukulele group, The Cool Hand Ukes, decided to have a little fun with a You Are My Sunshine/Boyz n the Hood Mash-Up. We did it at the Lookout Bar and Grill in the beautiful Channel Island Harbor in Oxnard, Ca. We not only had lots of ukes, we had Monte on drums, Donna on bass, Helane on keyboards and Michigan Dave on fiddle. I hope you like our rendition. garyballen.com

I think we all look forward to every Saturday morning getting together and playing our ukuleles and singing our songs, the camaraderie is amazing. I wanna thank Randy and Dr. Shocker from the Harbor Cove Cafe for letting us play there every Saturday morning, this is our fifth year...

This is a little Mash Up I've been doing since the early 90’s, You are My Sunshine with Boyz n The Hood and Gangsta Gangsta woven in. I probably get requested this song more than any others. I learned about Eazy and N.W.A through my cousin Jerry Heller who was their manager and I worked for the group and Jerry for six years, quite an experience. I like how the Cool Hand Uke’s picked it right up...

Good times abound. Only thing missing is a djembe player! 🪘🥹
I so love "pick up" jams... so neat to see people jump in. Great harmonies! I've gotta go check that place out!
Ok

Hi. A youtuber named 'Debbie Dabbler' used this whole video without giving you any credit at all. The title of the video is 'Dabblers, Wanna Party Like Stuttering John?...SNEAKY PEAKY Inside A Pickwicks Pub NightClub Event!'. I recommend you claim a copyright strike on this person for stealing your great content.
Post Ruthless Records still at it
Your group is playing the classic rock that we play in both my trio and 5 piece. Your hands and arms look so tired especially after Wipeout. Lol. Looking forward to comming out there and playing the solo to Runaway. FUN. Could you send me the address and times you play there.thanks. Lots of LOVE ❤️.
Rock on!
Wish ican see them in person....AirSupply forever
Who did thus? Real cool
Wow❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ How amazing to be in the presence of one of the best bands. Ever. I need to see them again❣️
Hi Tracey, I'm glad you like my old friends, spent 3 years 80-83 on tour with them. Please send my best to Will.
Awww you guys are great - what fun
You do request? I wanna send one out to the woman I love
You're adorable and talented, 50T!
Nice to see Tita Lou up and about! :)
hello sir i have seen in your channel long time ago some kangen water demo ? now days you don't produce any video about kangen?? ru still doing kangen ?
Hello Scott, Yes I am still selling Kangen Water Machines & Playing music, but my wife has cancer now and I am totally focusing on her. If you want a machine let me know, I sell all over the world.
Gary, As a Pickwick Pub semi-regular in the early 80's, this seems to be a tame crowd. Heck, they just use the dance floor and don't realize chairs are for dancing on too! Don't believe you'd remember but my buddy and I were sitting in front of you during your 2nd set and were playing 'quarters' when I decided my Timex watch needed to take a licking to see if it would keep on ticking - so I threw it in his beer and you broke up in the middle of your song. Great times, glad to see your making people dance ... anywhere and everywhere. One of the Hickey's that helped make the Pickwick Pub come alive. Yes, I remember Wipeout and the beer pitchers becoming drums, what a hoot.
Thanks for the memories Irish Jim, those were great days, if your ever in the Oxnard area I'm at The Lookout Bar & Grill every Sunday afternoon. Take care...www.fuckthatsong.com
R.I.P., Eazy-E

Woah! Is that Jimmy Z from Jimmy Z & the Z Tribe?! Nice! Sorry we missed it, still being careful until fully vaccinated. Looks like you had a great bday!
