The Viper and his ukulele have wowed ‘em with four strings and the truth everywhere from Ankara, Turkey to Milwaukee, Wisconsin as the Viper croons, scats, and yodels his way through the popular (and not so popular) music styles of the last 150 years. He and his ensembles — The Viper and His Famous Orchestra and The Viper and His Second String — have had a virtual lock on that uke-and-suitcase mid-Midwestern skiffle and spasm sound for at least the last two millennia.
