Hahahahaha, Maki! This is awesome! Yes, it seems that some folks still don't see the ukulele as a "serious instrument", but that's part of what I love about it-- the challenge of "making it work", of not having anything really to hide behind. I think it's so fun to take any given song, strip it down to its essentials, and develop a cool personal version of it utilizing nothing but a uke and a voice! And there are thousands of songs to choose from (or we can make up our own). It's just pure, simple music... pure, simple fun!
