Hi Dartmouthbrian, Uncle Rod Higuchi here from STRUM, (Seattles Totally Relaxed Ukulele Musicians).
one of our members, Kerry Bannister, Lynnwood, WA, makes great-sounding ukuleles.
when we are able to meet together again, we will congregate at the Kona Kitchen Restaurant on
Wednesday evenings, 6-8p.
We generally meet at the Ballard Locks from June through August
when the weather is better. You can meet Kerry then and play some of his ukes.
we will be particpating in the Northwest Folklife Home to Home virtual event this Sunday the 24th
at 5p (nwfolklifestreaming.org).
Please feel free to contact me at (rohiguchi@gmail.com).
I have several of Kerry's ukuleles and especially enjoy playing a longneck soprano and a 5-string
longneck soprano.
keep uke'in',
PS notice from STRUM:
If you didn't see this on FB, Uncle Rod is representing STRUM on NW Folklife virtual " home to home" event this weekend!
