Hey Guys!
I wanted to share. I was outside on my lunch messing around on my Uke. I was playing (poorly) Tears in Heaven, and the old standby, Stairway to Heaven. It is beautiful and cool here in South Florida right now, so I was enjoying the sunny day and the breeze.
A secretary that I rarely speak to happened to walk out and heard me playing. She started to cry. I thought it was because I was so bad so I stopped and apologized to her. I tried to explain that I have only been playing for a few months, and that it will get better.
She laughed and said it was beautiful. Her grandmother used to play for her when she was a little girl. She said that the sound of the instrument reminded her of her grandmother and the memories made her happy. She gave me a hug and then went back inside.
I guess that is the kind of thing that people are talking about on the UU when they talk about a "Uke Moment". It was a great feeling, and I wanted to share it with you guys. Have a happy day, and remember- take the time to play.
