My wife, my parents, and I went to a folk music concert tonight - Anne Hills, and David Roth, two gifted performers. While I've known Anne for years (Hired her to play at my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary, as she is their favorite performer), I've only heard David on the radio, and on CD.
He is a terrific performer, and very nice, personable, and a pleasure to talk to. When I noticed that he had a Mya Moe ukulele on stage before the concert, I asked how he liked it.
We chatted for a few minutes about ukuleles in general and Mya Moe in particular (And he had nothing but praise for Gordan and Char), and we shared the "if anyone had ever told me I'd be paying four figures for a ukulele! But Man, was it worth every penny!" conversation.
He told me that he had the uke set up for the first song ("Rhubarb Trees", the title song of the new album that he and Anne just released), but told me that I was welcome to play the instrument during intermission.
I didn't have to be told twice. (But I did check again, before I did so).
I had my wife snap a shot of me playing it:
Chocolate Mango, #309, built 9/10.
I understand now.
I still prefer my Sceptre, but the Mya Moe is wonderful.
Thanks, David.
