It is Season TWO-oh-TWO ... brought to you by Uke On! duo and The Number 2! So of course our theme is called "2 by 2", and is all about duos and the number 2! There are TWO requirements for each video you submit. 1) It must be made by a duo (you and somebody who is not you). 2) It must...

Okay, so here's a crazy question ... forgive me if it's been asked before (I googled, but couldn't find anything), or if it's completely wacko. I regularly recommend to new players that they immediately upgrade their new uke to fluorocarbon strings (PLEASE don't tell me why I shouldn't...

Our dear friend Rex (Jazzbanjorex) has been going through a healing challenge. I'll include some of the details below, in his own words, which he posted on a Facebook page he created to keep interested supporters informed. (If you'd like to be one of them and are not yet a member of that...

Tommy (IamNoMan) called me just now to ask that I let you all know, on Saturday, while away at the Philly Folk Fest weekend getaway, he fell and broke his hip and femur. He's in good spirits and is doing well ... and is in Elmer, NJ ... several hours from home. Tomorrow (Tuesday) he goes in...

I know there are many of us who, bolstered by the confidence we've gained from making videos for our Seasons fellows, have occasionally ventured out into the world of performing live directly in front of actual, real live real-time human beings. I've grown quite fond of this mode of expression...

I just came across this by accident while downloading something else ... it is free for the next 12 hours - from a site that offers daily software giveaways. Today's just happened to be video editing software, which I happened to be about to investigate anyway! It's CyberLink PowerDirector 12...

Happy Father's Day to all the dads and kids of dads out there! I just re-recorded my dad song for Father's Day. I know when I first recorded this, for Season 100, tributes to loved ones who'd died, that there were at least three or four other Seasonistas who also posted original "dad songs"...

The Ukulele World Congress is coming soon to a field near you! (Or perhaps far from you (Indiana) ... but so worth the trip.) I went last year - it was amazing - this year I am going for an entire week. 500+ ukulele players gathered in a field playing ukuleles together, from all over the...

Welcome to Season 159, where we are having a big getting-to-know-you party! One of my very favorite things to do in life is to bring people I love together to meet each other and/or discover great music and other things I think they would love. It has been my joy and privilege to be a part...

I'm inspired by some recent posts in various Seasons threads about the profound difference that Seasons participation has made for many of us. I'd love to gather everybody's stories together in one place, so we can all be uplifted by each others' experience. So ... what difference has your...

Happy New Year, friends! Here is your invitation to our 2015 Seasons New Year party ... here in the great state of New Jersey! Our theme this week is my beloved home state of New Jersey. Bring us a song about and/or mentioning New Jersey, and/or a person, place, or thing associated with...

OOPS - I WAS WRONG ... IN-STORE SALE IS THURSDAY 6PM THROUGH FRIDAY ONLY!!!!! And looks like all day Thursday and Friday online - free store pickup (AFTER the rush - yay! ). So, I have no idea yet whether these are any good at all, but thought some of you might like to know about this right...

A relatively new Martin M600 A string just snapped on my soprano Flea. Replaced the set July 21 ... only about 7 weeks ago. Looks like it snapped at the tuner. All the strings had settled nicely for the last month or more. They barely ever needed the least bit of tuning. I'd pull it out of...

Okay, it's official - we set up tents and organized our packing list yesterday ... FiL and I are going to UWC this weekend! So who else is going? Would love to get together with you all and make a Season 120 video at UWC ... at the open mic Saturday, perhaps? If you are going, please reply...

I didn't see one, so I created one. Come join us! www.facebook.com/groups/Seasonistas I hope this is kosher with everyone. I have no desire to Rock the Boat again. I started it as a way of facilitating the real-time virtual jam Casey and I and others have been working out over at...

Okay, now that I have your attention..... This is an actual thread that has been brewing over at the 94th Season of the Ukulele. It's a long story how it got started and what's been suggested so far. It starts here if you're interested...

Okay, Lily, UkeyDave, and Ginny encouraged me to start this thread, which grew out of Season 88 (http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?87582-Season-88-of-the-Ukulele-Forget-What-You-Know!/page5). I said, "I started playing uke only on August 31st, 7 weeks ago. Except for a very...
