As far as I am concerned, Abe Lagrimas Jr. is one of the best ukulele artists today, right up there with Jake and Brittni Paiva. Check out the Ko'olau video that I just found and forward to 2:00 into it and listen (and at 2:12 see) a wonderful impromtu jazz solo by Abe and you may end up agreeing with me, if you do not already. Oh, and, yes, I one day want a Ko'olau ukulele and, no, I do not work for them nor am I Abe's press agent - just a giant fan!
