Good morning, one and all!
Got a Shima Ukulele on their Thanksgiving special. The upside is that both Bruce and Jake signed it. The down side is that it doesn't sound like a Kamaka. They make a big deal about the neck. If I was a soprano player it would be a big deal. As a tenor player not so much. Really can't tell a difference with the wider nut. As with my pineapple part of the longneck compromise is to mount the bridge closer to the bottom end of the uke. I rub the bridge with the underside of my forearm. Learning-curve issue, but it makes it less fun to play.
Bruce is so under-rated. I'd say he's as good as his brother and a lot more fun to hang with.
Bruce who? I'm so out of the loop....

But it's signed by Jake and Bruce.
Bruce is hilarious by the way.
The bunker periscope shows that we have lots of Mallards roaming around the place eating the last of the fall fruits and berries.
I just learned a fourth chord.
