I got into the ukulele right around the time my Mom's health started failing and my wife and I started spending Christmas with her, alone, in Florida. She really used to enjoy singing the old songs, and having the uke around on Christmas turned her little house in FLA into a happy place for neighbors and friends to drop by for a visit.
She passed away about two years ago, and my four ukes haven't been out of their cases a whole lot since then. I used to enjoy playing for the pre-school kids in my building at work, but the teachers got a little jealous and haven't asked me back for a while.
Consequently, there isn't a lot of motivation to learn new songs or even noodle around anymore. I'd love to hear some ideas from you all about how I can continue to create happiness with this little instrument. I've been away from the music business for almost thirty years and only picked up the uke for pure fun, so I don't have much interest in honing my technique or studying theory. But who's out there these days that might want to hear some ukeing?
