Well, it's that night again. I'm leaving my AD-II at home. Tonight I'm going to play a uke in front of people for the first time. :eek:

Looking at the calender, I might have picked the right day for it!

Go for it. Besides, the bar chords should be easier on the uke.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. The uke did well tonight. I tried to keep it light hearted. I smiled my way through some finger-slips and just kept going. I played "Daydream Believer" and "I'm a Believer". I got the okay for a third so I said "Damn the torpedos!", and did the "Spiderman" song. I got some smiles and laughs from the crowd so I'm happy.
The OFC support helped alot.

Brad- Dagnabit! You need to give me a heads up for that kind of thing! I would've come down for a uke night (no, I wouldn't have played, just moral support).

W2- Bar chord? You mean those three money chords? :D
