Welcome, Lee, but...
Where in Upstate?
If you are from The Bronx or Brooklyn, "Upstate" is anything north of Yonkers. To me, "Upstate" starts north of Saratoga Springs, Syracuse in Central NY, Buffalo is Western NY, Jamestown and Watkins Glen are Southern Tier, and Kingston/Poughkeepsie is Downstate.
So where are you?
I’m between Syracuse and Auburn. I work and teach at Syracuse University.
That's cool! Not only is there a pretty active Ukulele Group in the Syracuse Area (maybe more than one) but there are some pretty good wineries out there. (I recommend Montezuma...)
The first ukulele I bought - although I didn't know it was a playable instrument - was a 1920s Stella banjo uke I bought in an Auburn pawn shop, in 1979. So there is a connection!
Anyway, Welcome Aboard, Lee!

We in the Poughkeepsie/Kingston area prefer it to be the Hudson Valley, not a biggie but something...........
