Location: Orlando, Fl | My word!!! I have never played a uke and never understood why so many OFC'ers were into them... I didn't know you could do that with a uke!
My hat is off to that guy, truly a pleasure to listen to! |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I'm not one to poke fun at uke players... after all, ukes are legitimate instruments; just tiny little cute ones, the kind that elves, gnomes and wood nymphs might play and sing along to with their tiny little helium voices...
and this video is, easily, the one I most shared with friends and acquaintances over the last year. It's just the most musical thing I have seen in a long time. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Sort of on topic: thanks for the "prize", Dave. I don't think the little book on Uke chords will convert me. I just can't get the image of Arthur Godfrey out of my mind. |
