I was gazing with some pride at my ukulele collection last night--down to five, thank goodness--and mulling over their origin stories, thinking about where they were made and by whom when I realized of the five, three are from different states, and three from different countries. And then I came up with my ukulele collection idea:
The Fifty States [Plus Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands, as desired] Ukulele Collection!
What do you think, Jerry, do you want to take this on? Anyone?
We could also come up with a virtual collection by listing our own US-built ukes, and see how many of those places we can cover.
It's something I could get truly patriotic about.
All right, here's what we have so far. At a certain point, I'm sure we'll have to stop counting Magic Fluke.
California: Drewek Lutherie, David Iriguchi, Kala Elite
Colorado: Beau Hannam, David Hanson
Florida: Jonathan Dale
Georgia: David Hanson
Hawaii: Bradford Donaldson, Imua, Koaloha, Mele
Illinois: Harmony, Globe, Kay, Silvertone
Massachusetts: Magic Fluke (2)
Michigan: Bruce Herron (2)
Minnesota: Pete/Shelley Mai
New York: Zither Heaven
Oregon: Perry/Terry Bullard, Covered Bridge, David Ingalls (2), Outdoor
Pennsylvania: Jonathan Dale
