Since I just recently started posting here i think i will share my ukulele love story. In my younger days I was a brash,daring Dj and Musicians in many Hawaii Nightclubs. I met a young lady who I will tell you about later who said " it was my first night here in hawaii and we walked into a nightclub. sitting at a table a young man approached me ..jumped into my lap and said 'you're going to be my girlfirend"..well she did become my girl but dumped me after 6 months for being to much of a player.lol Time warp to about 27 years later and this brash man was now a ill lonely person. I had suffered my third major liver failure and almost passed away, Having end stage liver disease, filing for bankrupcy as a general contractor all I was left with was my musical instrument collection. No Job, No Money. and bedriidden. well slowly as I gained strength I need some Kala...no can live on air,, so I started selling off my guitar and ukulele collection...not on ebay but things like craigslist, paper ads, etc. realizing there was an end to it if I keep selling. One spot I sold things on was the Flea Market Music Ukulele Marketplace....I used my real name back then..Now back to the girl..Both of us marrying and getting divorced she was living in Virginia with her four daughters..me home back with my parents sick in bed. I just started learning the computor to do these things when my first official IM appeared...and it was from HER! She toyed with me since my memory was not so good in my ill state and it was so frustrating since she knew everything about me and i had no recollection. Well the im and emails progressed and we hit it off again..me finally realizing who she was. She told me that she wanted to get UKULELES for her daughters since she lived here for 13 years after she left me and thats when she saw my name in the marketplace ad. Well the rest is easy...Now I am a happy ball and chain man meeting by chance one of my old romances 28 years later...all because of the ukulele...so now you know why I have a Virginia phone number and live in Kaneohe Hawaii...a question frequently asked...as for ebay and selling ukuleles ...thats a whole nother story except I can say I started with no money. a borrowed credit card ( bankruptcy..no credit) and a borrowed digital camera...Ahhh isn;t love grand
