    Default Anybody play Ukulele?

    When I was a kid I had an Uncle that played the Ukulele to pick up girls (I know, I know but it was the Kennedy years so stop laughing). He taught me to play a few songs and gave me an interest in music. He died recently and I have been thinking about him a lot. Got a wild hair to buy me a Ukulele and plunk around on it. Anybody play?

    How do you pick up girls carrying a TV, XBOX, Game, Controler, extension cord and generator in a Miata? Not to mention a time machine back to when girls like Ukuleles?

    I've played a ukelele, but I mostly stick to my Les Paul or my P-Bass. I have a 300 watt stack for the bass, and it shakes the house.

    I've also been looking at THIS. Something about building it myself seems fun.

    I tried. On another note, I want to attempt to make a flying V uke from that kit.

    You would really have to be into DIY, you can buy a really good Uke for that price: http://www.jumpingflea.com/productdetail.cfm?Model=S-C

    or for a lot less: http://www.jumpingflea.com/productdetail.cfm?Model=LU21

    When I was in college, we had a lot of hootenannies. I played guitar, mandolin, wash tub base, anything with strings. Well, anything except a tampon. We let the drummer do that.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Thanks for all the support, but I got my Ukulele anyway and I'm enjoying it. All except the blisters on my fingertips. Guess I'll have to pace myself for a while.
