Shot by my wife on the iPhone on 20 October, 2012 in Bethesda, MD. Awesome concert. Took my Applause with me (me on the right of her, too close to get a good shot). So, I've only had a uke for two weeks, and I'm already playing with the UOGB

Gforeman, glad you captured the moment. You caught a glimpse of my wife and I down below you. Your wife stopped too soon, but she wouldn't have known.....was he taking about you when he asked "who had the highest uke?".

Not to hi-jack the thread, but did they sign autographs? I went up and down both levels and couldn't find them anywhere. An usher told me they did not set up any CD's for sale. I brought a cheap uke for them to sign.

Very nice! We did "Relentlessly in C" in Princeton, which, while fun, was a difficult piece to get through. Would have much rather done Ode to Joy-- that sounded really good!

Thanks for posting that!
My wife and I were there also. I brought my cigar box uke because I keep it tuned to D and this song was in D.

It was a great concert.

I too looked for them, and no joy. I had a silver marker and wanted them to sign my case. Oh well, that's minor, we had a great time. And the Strathmore theater is an awesome place.

I completely enjoyed the show, very entertaining. I was impressed with the level of musicianship and the collective singing ability of the group. the Ode To Joy segment worked out much better than I anticipated. hope they come through the area again.
