Been awhile since I posted over here in uke talk but this is too good to not share. Uke players have a tendancy to baby our ukes. We cry anytime it gets a scuff or a scratch (there is a difference) or a crack or a smudge or a...you get the idea. I'm a little different. I think that blemishes add to a uke's character and though I try not to damage my ukes, I don't cry if something minor happens to one of my ukes. I have a fairly new baby (7 months old) and she really loves music. She was welcomed to this world with her daddy playing his 6 string uke as a welcoming committee and she has been around the uke since she was conceived (I think my uke playing led to her being conceived but I'm not sure).
Every night before I put her to bed, I play a song for her. Usually it is just random playing or something I am working on but it is a daddy/daughter moment. As she was laying down in the floor chewing on a toy, I took out my KoAloha super concert and strummed a chord. She immediately turned with the biggest smile on her face and crawled over to her daddy. I was playing a worship song so I continued as she climbed into my lap (which the father wants his children to do) and she latched on to the bottom of my uke by the sound hole. She went to town and I jsut kept playing.
My uke now has two very nice looking grooves on the side from her two teeth. My koaloha superconcert is now complete. It has mojo
