hey Ukelele!

An update on the ukelele situation.

Yes, I bought one. yes, I can just about tune it. And yes, the three main chords ar easy, and I wrote a nice little tune on it. It's compact and portable, tho' sounds tinny and gets out of tune easily.

But it's easy, and it's fun, and it can travel.

and you can hear a nice tune from the site's maestro here:

• Ed Kalua play Go Tell it to the Mountain

and also (again) the wonderful

• Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain playing Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit
