I joined UU a year ago today and pretty much started my ukulele adventure at the same time. It has been a great experience so far. I have learned a lot from UU and I have made some great friends. I have also been very fortunate to get some cool ukes along the way that I really enjoy playing.
This has been and will be a uke filled week. On Sunday we had a party at my Mom's house for family and friends. Fellow UUer Skitzic was able to make it to the party and jam a bit with me and put on a mini concert. Skitzic and I were on the front page of a local paper about a week ago featuring the uke group that we formed....so we had people at the party teasing us and calling us celebrities. They asked us to play some tunes. On Monday I was at my brother-in-law's house for a picnic. I got to jam with his two year old daughter - I was playing my uke and she was drumming on her little plastic tray....it only lasted about a minute but it made my day. On Wednesday night my wife and I are going to see Jake Shimabukuro play at a local venue. On Thursday I will be jamming with some fellow UUers in Jim Thorpe, PA.
Anyway, it has been a great experience thus far and I am definitely a better person for learning the uke and enjoying all that it offers. Thanks for reading.
