I am very pleased to see that, in my area, we are coming back to normal. With trepidation I went to one of my favourite restaurants yesterday. There weren’t too many patrons....and in a way I felt a sense of security in this. I am beginning to believe that all this talk about the paucity of...

A guy in a restaurant stops a pretty waitress as she passes by his table. "Excuse me, Miss. Can I ask you a question about the menu, please?" She threw a drink in his face. "The men I please are none of your damn business!"

Hello all. I’m interested in using a modelling amp with my Fluke SB with fluorocarbon strings. I have looked at a few acoustic amps but they are totally limited. I am looking at a Fender Mustang GTX50 or a Boss Katana MK2 50. However, I’m leaning towards the Fender as it appears to be more app...

Ouch....... The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. Suzie Smith stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband Tom, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain...

I have taken many online courses at the university level. The key is to find a credible institution and review its programme. Most institutions have an on line segment....understand some courses in your pursuit may not be offered on line....so it is important check the institution....check the...

Hello all, If this posts strangely my iPad has been doing weird things.....including this thread....this is my 3rd time trying to post it. I’m looking to buy a RISA Solid Stick Tenor ukulele. I was wondering if actual users could offer their opinions as to the quality of this instrument and...

Maybe a sign of things to come.....

Hello all, I’ve been researching getting an electric-acoustic uke and am leaning toward the Seagull Electro. I’m also thinking about the steel stringed model. However, I’ve been looking to see where I can get replacement strings and I can’t find a spot anywhere.....even looking at the Seagull...

Hello all, I’ve been noticing a number of players with the Fender Fullerton acoustic-electric ukuleles. In Canada they sell for around $280 , which is fairly inexpensive. Any thoughts on these ukes, they come in strat, tele, and jazz master forms and are concert in scale.

Hello all, I finally pushed the button and have a Kala Thinline Travel Concert uke ordered from our local Long and McQuade store. When I placed the order I have their usual 30 day return policy at no cost to me if I don’t like the uke. My question is does anyone have one and are there any...

Hello all, I am interested in purchasing a tenor uke; so I rented a Kala T from our local Long and McQuade to see if I would like it. I really like the tone and the fretboard....Bm is really easy for me on it. What I found was it is so quiet when in my uke group I can hardly hear it. Now my...

Hello all, I’ve been scrolling through the threads for an answer to my question but haven’t found an answer. We have so many Low G questions you could start it’s own thread on it. My issue is I wish to put a Low G string on my Little Gem banjouke. I have been browsing through the Long and...

Hello all, I’ve been wondering about acoustic-electric ukes? I’m leaning towards getting a better acoustic Uke and putting an attachable pickup on it. I have a few acoustic guitars and I have a Little Gem so I was thinking multiple application. The question is I really have no idea where to...

Hello all, I’ve been thinking of getting a tenor scale, and have been watching for sales at our local Long and McQuade store here in Windsor. This week they have Epiphone Hummingbird ukes on sale for $249 Canadian, which is $40 bucks off. I’ve read some reviews on these, and while not the...

Hello all, I currently have a Little Gem banjo-uke. I have been thinking about trying out a soprano and was wondering what I should look for in deciding which ones in our music store are of good quality. I do play guitar and have an idea of what a good guitar should look and sound like. I...
