Whenever I go camping with my buds (...okay... with my scout troop), I bring my uke along. Singing songs around the campfire with a uke is rather nice.
Not with an ukulele.
Both of my daughters (4 and 6) dance Hula and I thought it would be nice if I got more involved in their activities. Long story short, I joined the halau as a beginner drummer and after a few months of practice my first show was at the Pacific Islander Festival here in San Diego in front of a massive crowd . I've never been in front of sooo many people. I was shaking so hard my pahu basically played itself!
