Just 3 months ago, one of the boys in our family got very excited to learn the ukulele. He had gone to the Thailand ukulele festival and claimed he wanted to play ukulele by the next ukulele festival.
So, I bought him a Martin and he didn't know much about it but he did know that other guitarists and ukists coveted what he had.
So I haven't seen that boy much because of circumstances.
Last night we heard he got into a motorcycle accident and we will be driving up shortly to see how he is.
I asked all the hows and whys and learned he had gone out with his uke (and a guitar) to play music with a friend.
This made me strangely happy that he is pursuing music and the accident wasn't about goofing off drinking beer as I would have done. As an optimist, I feel it will be a battle scar, a good story. The reality is his arm has multiple fractures and we'll need to take a look at the x rays of his head. If its just a concussion and broken limb, I'll feel relieved. I'll know more later.
So, besides the boy, I am interested to see if the Martin survived. They come with a soft carry gig bag.
