In 2008/2009 I met a couple of ukulele players, John Bird and David Newland who got me interested in adding the uke to my instrument arsenal. David co-hosted Toronto's Corktown Ukulele Jam and I had just gotten a $40 ukulele and since the admission was free if you had a uke with you, I took it along.
When we got there, we saw that the people on the open mic ranged from fantastic to absolute beginners, Maggie and I decided to grab a place at the open mic. I had been playing guitar since 1960, so I was not a complete beginner. We were mighty nervous, and were surprised to get a phone call the next day from David to tell us that we had been recorded and were on YouTube. I just found this video, which I haven't seen in a decade.
