I went ahead and did some work on it. I went with some titebond in the crack in the top. I used a light clamp to make the two sides of the crack set at the same level. The glue held, and the crack has held together. There was still some roughness on top of the crack, plus the long scratch...

Thanks, Joo! It was a great season, and I’m glad to have been able to participate. 🙂

This is the first song I ever wrote, over 10 years ago now. It was for our 25th anniversary, based on a poem I wrote for our 10th. It’s from the perspective of the husband singing to his wife, so it covers my top two answers. Thanks, Joo! I'll have to catch up on some watching, now. Here’s...

Wow. Sorry you had to walk in the snow, and encounter this kind of incident. Thanks for doing what you could to help.

I think if you replace most of the open notes on the 4th string with the second string third fret, it should work for low g. I think the chords will work with the low g string included, as long as 4th string note in the chord is not the melody note. Hope that helps!

The high g note will be the third fret of the e string. You can find all the notes of the high g string on the other 3 strings. 🙂

Since I shared it here before, our son Tim got through his pneumonia and is back at his rehab hospital. Thanks for the prayers and good vibes. I haven’t given up on this week yet… 🙂

Thanks! I found a good tutorial covering that. I will probably try that. Maybe I will eventually back my way into building something…but I have commitment issues…🙂

Actually I got it on goodwillfinds.com Usually I wait for them to discount stuff before I buy anything from them, but once I saw that the shipping was reasonable I jumped on it. I had just passed on a mint Martin OKX on reverb, so I didn’t want to wait. Thanks for the info!

I don’t love Christmas, but family and church friends do, so I go along. I would love to learn Los Peces en el Rio as done by the Gipsy Kings, but probably not ready for that yet. I may work out a finger style version of Silent Night. Lo How A Rose and Coventry Carol are beautiful old hymns that...

Thanks. I’m not too bothered by it. Cosmetic issues don’t bother me much, and this is a Uke I will enjoy playing.🙂

Came in today. Another goodwill find. Kala travel tenor. $65, small crack, sounds great! 🙂

Hello everyone, I got this online from goodwill. $65 shipped. Sounds great. Didn’t see the crack in the photos on line. Should I try hydrating it? Glueing it? Not worry about it? I know it’s not worth investing $$ in repairing it, but it might be worth the effort for me as a learning...

Thanks! Yes, I had one before, but gave it to a friend who wanted to learn. I’m glad to find this one. I would love to get a soprano version some day. Might make a nice pseudo machete. 🙂

Hello all, This came in from goodwill today. All the way from California. $65 including shipping. It was not advertised as with the case, but it came with it. The case is in ok but not great shape. There is a small crack in the top. Could not see it in the photos on line when I bought it. It...

Looks great! Glad it sounds good, too!

I have another two: A Kailua tenor scale soprano, $65 including shipping, and a Pacific concert, $58 including shipping. The first from a good will auction, the second from good will finds.

Well, the boatman was last on my list. I got these lyrics, so I will share them. I have a song to cover the husband and wife. Don’t know if I can get through the lover and assassin though. My boy is back in ICU again. It’s been a long year for him, and all of us. ……………………………………………….. The...

The lyrics came to me pretty quickly after seeing the theme. I thought I would have more time this week, but I will share what I have. I am thankful that you were willing to host, Andy! 🙏🙂 Thankful for it all. The sunshine on the autumn leaves, darkness in the winter freeze, the promise of...

The husband and wife are both responsible for the health of the marriage. The lover helps the marriage deteriorate further. The Assassin actually takes life, due to the circumstances in place, and their own willingness to kill. The boatman could have shown mercy. I didn’t see any spoilers! 🙂...
