Hey UU friends,
I have to tell you the greatest uke story tonight. As most of you know (since I can't stop talking about it) that I got an eleuke from Mim last week! (thanks Mim!) and today I took it to my two boys guitar teacher to show him during their lessons. He has never played a uke before and took it and just jammed on it! ha! He kept saying how he was amazed at how good it felt holding it and playing it.
my 15 yr old son says "he's better than you and he's only been playing 5 seconds" Thanks.. Then the luthier checks it out and plays it.. amazed at how good it feels, and tells me a story of finding a mahogany ukulele in the closet and needs the neck reattached and says he going to do it now because he really liked the feel of the eleuke. (and yes my 15 yr old son says, he's better than you too)
Owner comes in, same thing, play it (he's a bass player) likes it, and again my 15 yr old son says 'Doesn't it suck to be you, when all these people that have never played the ukulele are better than you. Thanks KID!
What is shows me is that is must keep studying theory because I am sure that it makes playing make sense!
anyhow, if I have just shared the joy of ukulele with someone else I am happy!! plus I didn't have to leave the thing at home and I didn't want to!!!
Have I mentioned I really love my eleuke!?
