In the 1920s he was a recording artist known as "The Wizard of the
Ukulele," playing tenor ukulele with a nimbleness and dexterity that
was very modern sounding and uniquely his own, accompanied by a gentle
croon. Wearing a tuxedo and a toothy grin, his face adorned sheet
numerous music covers from the Roaring 20s, a time when the ukulele
craze was at its peak. Among Fowler's recorded work from the 1920s: "No
Wonder She's a Blushing Bride," "Crazy Words, Crazy Tune," and "Just A
Bird's Eye View of my Old Kentucky Home."
