Description
I've always loved ukuleles, my aunt had one many years ago and showed me a few chords. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. They seem to be making a comeback in some pretty crazy ways. All I know is I'm trying to teach myself; slow going, but it's fun.

Time to tune up that "Ukulele" . Aloha

Ahhh ... the perfect solution. This is gorgeous, all by itself! I love the light reflections on the wall.

ditto tara, it's beautiful by itself. What a nice ukulele: a nice black finish, it's really beautiful. And good background to pick up its color, & ditto on the reflections...It's a tough instrument to learn because of the tuning, which is unlike most stringed instruments in the West. (Ok, here comes some music trivia, you might wanna leave the room....) You may know this, but it comes from the old Portuguese cavaquinho which is common in Samba music, which I say because some people think of the uke as a 'toy', whereas it's a wholly serious instrument. Your YouTube sample shows that: The artist was famous & his voice could be angelic; thanks so much for posting him! (He did all that solo too!)...I wish you luck relearning it, it's a charming intimate instrument. And thanks for posting another of your musical 'stash'...

A wonderful shot of an old friend, maybe sometimes nemesis? Lighting is perfect. I like these indoor "studio" shots. This is the time of the year for them for sure. Watched the entire embedded YouTube video...cool idea.

I always think of George Formby when I think of ukelele music. It's a smart looking instrument, my Mum had one and it was a bit shabby, with long ribbons hanging from thr neck!

Nice composition, M. And, the late, great Tiny Tim also strummed this elegant instrument in his rendition of "Tiptoe through the tulips with me."

My friend I have good news. when my job comes to a end in 4 or 5 years I am planning on putting a little band together and moving to nashville. I of course will be the lead singer, but the good news is we don't have a ukulele player yet so practice and who knows hahaha beautiful shot my friend
