UGH 2009 Pictures Part 2
Ran into Joe and Kristen Souza of Kanile'a 'Ukuleles, talking story with them I discover I went to school with his older Brother and sister from the 5th grade thru high school. He lived just a mile up river from my house. He is ten years younger than me so I didn't remember him too much but remember exactly which house he lived, and always gave his older siblings David & Roselani a wave as I paddled by their backyard as I fished. Very small world.
Was a blast listening to all the various performers jammin' including Uncle Kimo Hussey. LOLO forget uncle's name on the bass 'ukulele but he was awesome.

Was fortunate to run into Uncle Emil Bader. He had 4 beautiful 'ukuleles of his on display, and I believe he has all 4 up for sale while they last I believe $300 each.
