Front page, no less!
As a result of this story, I had 20 emails this morning asking about our club.
As a slight diversion, I had even more after this article was published in the Merc a little while ago. It wasn't shameless self-promotion, but a chance for free publicity for our club. Update to this article: we now have an average attendance of 60 people. Our record attendance is 80, but we're small potatoes compared to the Santa Cruz club, which has more than twice that many.
The more ukes we get into people's hands, the better.

Aw, shucks, Stan...
Here's a congrats to all of us who have beaten back and a 'hang in there" to those that are dealing with the big C. I took my uke with me every time I was in the hospital...no better medicine for calming oneself down and making the whole damn battle more tolerable.
Now back to the OP...

Enjoyed the article very much. Anyone know about the mentioned collaboration between Jake Shimabukuro and Paul McCartney?
