Found this 50's Emenee Flamingo plastic uke on Etsy the other week. Turns out that the owner bought it, played it for a few days, put it in a closet and never touched it again. It even came with the original books and chord player. I haven't had a chance to change the 60 year old strings yet, so you can hear just how bad those sound. :)

Here's the youtube link.
 
Fantastic job Miles, man you have a super voice. Hearty congrats on the uke mate, she's a sweetheart for sure. Cheers
 
Good find! I want a plastic uke too one day. :) And your video made me go learn how to play La Vie En Rose. :D
 
Thanks everyone! Glad that she found me.

As for La Vie En Rose - it's a terrific song and I butchered it pretty well. :) Wish I could sing it like Louis Armstrong.
