Hi everyone. My name's Jezbo and this is my first day here. I am a mature fella and have been playing uke since I was twelve before going over to guitar (a familiar route) then years later returning to my first love. My return started with a $23 uke bought in Geelong Victoria some years ago before we returned to WA after an absence of 30 years. The $23 uke was ok for a bit of fun but wasn't a real instrument if you get my drift.
So I ventured up to a $60 one and looked in horror at the prices of the Hawaiian ukes - man! Over a grand!!! Who in their right minds would pay that?? Who . . . well actually, me! I bought a KoAloah tenor plus a beautiful Kala Marcie Marxer tenor, a you-beaut Lanikai (Hawaiian model) plus a few others. So I am well and truly hooked. I would love a MyaMoe tenor and a few others but they will have to wait a long time.
Before we left WA in '84 I played guitar and sang around the place and since coming back we have housed ourselves in Kalamunda WA where I played and sang at what used to be The Last Drop Tavern. I sang there for five years, at least twice a week
but of course it has all changed. .
Always looking for something new to do as I am now retired I will be teaching ukulele at the Kalamunda Learning Centre in February and I am really looking forward to it.
Well I think that's enough from me for now.
Keep plunkin'
