Aloha from sunny Florida!

[janahannah]

I currently live in Venice, Fl where I stumbled upon the ukulele at a local music shop. In fact, the owner said that once he started selling and teaching ukulele classes, it saved his business! Found UU online and was hooked. I currently play a Kamaka tenor, Ohana maple concert, and baby a Kamaka soprano that I found in a garage. UU rocks!

Thank you! I look forward to learning from you all!

Greetings and welcome fellow-Floridian. I thought I got a good deal on my Kamaka soprano.....found one in a garage????? We should all be so lucky. I never wanted one until I had one, now I love it...a keeper.

I agree, I also have a Kamaka tenor and love it. Saw Jake S. In Clearwater and he signed the soprano which now hangs on my wall. Very lucky indeed!

Welcome. There a lot of Florida members here. I am from South Florida.

It is a terrific place, very warm and comforting. Ask your questions. Someone will know the answer.

What store was it you were talking about?

Nice selection of Ukes. I love my Kamaka.

Coolio! Wish we had met. Maybe next year.....or, we have several jam sessions a month, and one open mic!

Hi, I live in Venice as well, I have an amahi concert, and just got an Ohara tenor for Christmas. I too attended Tbug and purchased our tickets for next year as well. Will probably run into you at The Rythm Inlet at the monthly strum alongs. Happy strumming,
Sue

Ah, Jeff. Super nice guy and a shop filled with instruments. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Tampa Bay Fest and have subsequently visited him in the store. It was a great visit. Next time you are there, say hi from Lenny...
