Rayan and Aldrine,
I live in lexington, KY home of Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour. www.woodsongs.com . I was here from it's conception, and believe me, it just start with an great idea, one passionate musician, and a wonderful local venue (The KY Theater) to host the hour long show. Starting locally, it has grown and syndicated into a 400 + wordwide radio/TV show that features great acoustic-based talent for all over the globe. It is an all volunteer work force (except for it's creator Michael Johnathan of course). Everyone else that works there does so simply for the love of the music, and it all works beautifully. Woodsongs is held each Monday night from 7 till 8 PM.
I suggest we can do the same. Let's think big! UU can represent this new creative wave of Uke players and base the show locally out of Hawaii. It's the ideal location for such a venue that absolutely no other place (or competition) can geographically touch. Bring in only great Uke music and players. Invite artists such as Jake and James Hill, but don't limit yourself to just known artists... The idea is "you don't have to be famous, you just have to be good". Also, You have an awesome spokeman already! Aldrine would be the perfect host for this concept radio/TV show. He's very likable and carries a passion for the uke that transfers to his audience.
UU can take the Woodsongs concept and re-shape it into it's own first class uke hour for all the world to enjoy. Bottomline is, you guys are on to something here at UU that is dying to breakout and expand into other avenues.
The island, the uke, the cool vibe, Aldrine, UU, the resurgence of the Uke itself. Come on guys, let's do it!...
Who's with me!! thanks, e-lo....
