Hello from Arizona

Hello everyone. My name is Wayne, but on the forum I chose the name "Kahua."

I am new to the world of ukuleles, and looking forward to the learning journey. I recently purchased my first ukulele (soprano) a few days ago. It was an inexpensive one called a "Kahua." Considering the cost of only $30, I'm quite pleased with it. A good starter instrument. I thought since this is my first ukulele I would choose that name for the forum.

I played guitar for a few years when younger, but I have always enjoyed the beautiful sound from the ukulele. The first time I saw one being played was while watching TV shows staring Arthur Godfrey. I was but a very young boy at the time.

I really love Hawaiian music, and I thought how nice it would be to play them on the ukulele. So far I have been learning chords from a chord chart I purchased and I'm presently learning how to play, "The Hawaiian Wedding Song," since that was the song my wife and I chose when we got married, and also one of my favorite Hawaiian songs, "Now is the Hour."

I look forward to learning a great deal from the folks here.

Aloha
Kahua (Wayne)

Hi Wayne! Welcome to UU!

Welcome to the Forum Wayne

Welcome to UU Wayne.

Welcome aboard.

Thank you for the welcome folks. I'm really looking forward in being here. The ukulele is a new journey for me and I'm very excited about it. I have a ton of things to learn on the journey, and after reading so many of the threads and responses, I feel that I have made the right choice in coming here.

Hi Wayne! Welcome! Where are you in AZ? I'm in Phoenix but attend the Sun Lakes Ukulele class/ song circle every other Sunday (just met today). Sun City West also meets and is apparently huge in their numbers.

Aloha Wayne/Kahua. May your uke give you joy.
