In The Palm of My Hands, I tell Ya!

The other night, at a good friend's 55th birthday and  housewarming party, I pulled out my newly acquired Larrivée ukulele and discovered my true calling. On the fly and still figuring out how it worked and taking on almost all requests, I had an audience of about 25 people aged from 18 to 80 in the palm of my hands. Alright, I'm a sucker for approval but WTF? As far as musical  niches go, this is not what I had in mind!

Duck, you've found your true calling.   Imagine what it will be like when you've mastered the little beast.

Say it ain't so!

If you ever get the chance to see James Hill play don't miss it. He is a wonderful young player and show man. He has his Ukes outfitted with a variety of pickups and body sensors to make them sound HUGE. I did a show with him and he absolutely slayed the audience.

D'Uketrapper?       or if I go the Hedges' route ... D'uketapper?   

Funny, I'm hardly "good" at this. At least not yet. Just strumming and picking out notes in the C major  or pentatonic scale. I learned The Wind Cried Mary, yesterday. Works well on uke. Go figure!
