There is a Ukulele festival happening this weekend and my wife and I drove up to Parksville, BC, two days ago to see a two-hour performance associated with the festival on the beach.
I sat next to a rather distinguished looking man who I suspected might be part of the festivities and had a pleasent chat about my problems in starting out on the ukulele about six weeks ago.
Then the two performers called him up to the stage to perform for the last hour and it turned out to be Kimo Hussey. I had no idea who he was, but boy could he play! Made it seem effortless.
I googled him when I got back and gather he is a man of some importance in Hawaii (http://kimohussey.com/).
That's Kimo in the white shorts. His bio says he started to play at five years old - that would probably explain the effortless part!
I feel honored to have met him...
