I ran into Victoria Vox at the San Diego Ukulele Festival. I was expecting something more traditional and Hawaiian but what I got was very lighthearted, playful rock/pop. I bought one of her CDs, Victoria Vox: and her jumping flea," which she had graciously autographed. I have been listening to it ever since. Just in case you're wondering, uku is Hawaiian for flea and lele apparently refers to jumping. The name Ukulele was given to the the 4 stringed instrument, orginally brought to Hawaii by the Portuguese, and so named because of the rapid way that the players fingers jumped from string to string. Hmmm... Vox Rox, heheheh, that rhymes doesn't it?
