Yesterday I was out busking and when I got tired I decided to hit the neighborhood bar on the way home. The place was packed, more than usual for a Friday at 5:00. So I got a beer and went to a table in the back. Some guy who was here visiting his friend, our neighbor, came up and wanted to play my ukulele, so I told him to help himself. He had no idea what he was doing, but he had fun trying. Then he asked me if I could play a song for his wife. By then my neighbor had come over and we were talking. So I agreed to go over and play a song for his wife, who was sitting at the bar. I played Mercedes Benz for her. She knew the song and she sang it along with me. The whole bar applauded us. I got a couple of beers from people. That's what I love about the ukulele, it is just plain fun. If I hadn't had a ukulele in my hands when I went in there I would have sat in the corner by myself. Heck, if I hadn't taken up ukulele, I wouldn't have went out to play on the street, I wouldn't have worked up a thirst, and I wouldn't have had a good reason to stop in at the bar in the first place. It is so good. I've had so much fun with my ukulele.
