I am shipping out the loaner ukes on THURSDAY for the ukulele workshops at the OFC Tour.
Reminder - There will be TWO ukulele workshops. One on FRIDAY morning and one (shorter) on SATURDAY morning.
If you need to borrow a ukulele and have not done so already, please let me know ASAP so I make sure we have enough.
Those attending EITHER workshop will be in a drawing to win a FREE APPLAUSE UKULELE.
NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY to attend the workshop.

Dave is giving me a very nice deal on it, too! |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | All ukulele jokes aside... I've watch a guy shopping for a uke, and he was scary!
(One of them lucky suckers with inhumanly long fingers.)
His parents were with him, and he was trying to explain why one uke was $150 and the one he wanted was $800!
But he was good, and I didn't recognize any chord pattern there.
I've watched enough YouTube to know that those toy guitars ain't easy. I'll stick with my plastic guitars... Then maybe a plastic Mandolin...
He later was in the fish bowl, helping his sister choose a guitar. He was good on that too. |
