One thing that I am interested in is how many people who start out playing the ukulele stick with it. How many stay with it a month, two months, a year, two years? A neighbor got inspired to play the ukulele, ran out and bought one right away, then played it for all of two weeks before she lost interest in it. I gave my sister-in-law a Waterman because she wanted to play the ukulele and I don't think that she ever picked it up after she got it home. Her daughter got all excited about learning to play it this summer. That lasted for about three or four day, then she found other things that she wanted to do this summer. I would have to say that everyone who I have introduced to the ukulele has quit. So kudos to everyone here who has stayed with it. I suppose that is why we are all still here.
Anyway, on the same note, whenever a tread gets resurrected from the beginner forum or uke talk, and I do not recognize the name of the OP, I go back and see when was the last time they posted anything. More often than not, they post for a month or two and then they are gone. I wonder where they go? Do they lose interest in the ukulele and quit? Do they just lose interest in UU but continue to play their ukuleles? Are they just passing through and are they still on their journey? Are they still here, lurking and reading, just not participating? I just wonder about it. I'm actually surprised that I'm still playing it.
