My neighbor has 560 Ukuleles, and I just met him!

dinkadink · Oct 4, 2008

Guys, this was so cool. I have a small art studio in San Jose. I'd heard that there was a guy who had a stained glass shop down the street from my shop and that he had zillions of Ukes everywhere. So I went to meet him. Oh my goodness!! Here's a link to a story about him. He's a super cool guy, and totally fascinating... Keith Bramer. I've invited him to the San Jose Jam. I hope he'll make it! -Heather

Now that's a serious case of UAS!

I'd love to see what his collection looks like.

No. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. But I'm going to pop by this week to talk about the SJ Jam. I'll take my camera! If he doesn't mind, I'll post the pics here. It is not to be believed!

Will try to post pics when I visit him later in the week.

It's so cool that he is so close. I can walk to his studio from mine.

Oh PS- In that picture from the article, he's playing an old Martin. I'm not sure what it is specifically, but when I met him he let me play it. Like butter!!! I was transformed.

Do you use a credit card? If so thats probably why. I just set mine up to use my bank account. Either that or maybe paypal doesnt like Canada
