Oh! Susanna

This weekend was the second ukulele festival that the hubby and I had the pleasure of attending.  They just keep getting better and better!  Ukulele-ists almost always have this unassuming air that lacks ego, judgment and airs of superiority altogether.  These festivals always turn out to be the most healthy gathering of musicians of any age and background.  But this last festival we become inspired.  Instead of just being a vocalist/violinist and bassist who attend these festivals with a ukulele-ist, why not be ukulele-ists?  Why not incorporate this instrument that we have come to love into our own music?

So that, my friends, is precisely what we intend to do.  We're taking our old recordings and finding the perfect spots for ukulele and re-recording!  We're be playing the uke at shows, jamming in the parks, (well, figuratively now because it's way too cold to do that now), "taking it to the streets" if you will.

Now just to learn the ultimate musical weapon:  A  D  G

or in ukulele:

(Yeah, I know they're not the same chords, but you get the point.)
