I just had the coolest experience and had to share.
I'm not great at the ukulele. At best, I can play a couple of songs almost all the way through. Tonight I was waiting in the lobby and practicing a song I'm trying to learn while I waited and I noticed after a little while a pair of eyes peaking from behind a door. I smiled and kept playing and a young teenage boy came out and just stared at me. Then he got really excited and started yelling for people to come and watch (by the way he spoke and gestured, I gathered he was mentally handicapped)
He left, presumably to go get people to come watch and came back a few minutes later by himself and sat on the couch across from me and just stared, occasionally yelling passerbys to stay and watch (no one else was interested in listening and were probably a little uncomfortable with my singing indoors to myself). I offered to let him play and he declined and loudly told me to keep playing. Anywho, there's no point to this story other than I love that my terrible playing made this kids day. It was very neat to see how excited he was.
Anyone else have a cool uke story? I'd love to hear it.
