Listen to a variety of genres from these four-stringed instruments.
The Wild Blue Ukulele Orchestra will perform a set of music from the 1920s to the 1970s for Farm Bureau Prime Timers on Monday, Oct. 7.
You will hear everything from Duke Ellington, George Gershwin and Irving Berlin to the Beatles, Van Morrison and some traditional Hawaiian music. Most of the arrangements are written by orchestra members Taylor Atkins and Paul Marchese.
