Wow... let's see...
1) I wrote new lyrics to "The Garden Song", called "The Knitting Song", asked the local knitting group to sing it with me and let me record it for YouTube - and they did!
With over 600 views, it is currently my most viewed video on YouTube.

2) I was asked to take over the local Uke Night one evening when the regular leader couldn't make it, and was complimented by a number of people on the session. (When I was asked to do it again, I had to say no, because we had tickets for Mannheim Steamroller)
3) I actually won Season 38 of the Ukulele!

4) I recorded a video with TCK and TCW (Dave and Melissa) at a yarn shop in Sunnyvale, CA.

5) Got on stage at a local music festival (Old Songs, Altamont NY) and played with the Old Songs Jug Band along with a lot of very talented folks, young and old (First Time on stage with an instrument in almost 30 years)
and finally:
6) Rick Turner let me play TWO of his personal ukuleles (The Cherry and the Koa) and neither snatched them away from me, nor did he order me to leave and never return without cash in hand.
There have been some pretty rude awakenings this past year, but as far as Uke and Yarn went, the year rocked.
