    Default S'craic?!

    Alright!
    Just joined there and figured I'd actually do a post instead of perpetual lurking. 30ish male from Ireland, bene playing Uke on and off for about 8 years and really gotten into it since I bricked my guitar at the start of the pandemic

    Been learning scales and some music theory lately, really trying to up my understanding of this class little instrument.

    Playing a Kala KA-TEM with a low g, last song I learnt was 96 quite bitter beings (tabs courtesy of EatMyUke).

    Looking forward to getting some more insight from the community!

    Craic kreak krak or crack is a term for news, gossip, fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland. It is often used with the definite article – the craic – as in the expression "What's the craic?" Meaning "How are you?" or "What's happening?".

    Here in the the states I've only heard the term "crackey" in movies, but I got the message

    Welcome to the forum, waynetrousers!

    OK, I tugged on the thread and came up with this: "96 Quite Bitter Beings" by CKY

    Am I warm... or is it Deron Miller? (I like his version. Just E-A-D - I love it - I bought it.)
