Ok, I usually try not to do this sort of thing, but I just can't resist.
Here are two of the coolest, weirdest things I've ever seen anyone do with
a ukulele.
Exhibit A: Two people, one uke, and one Joy Division song

Exhibit B: Six strings and a whammy pedal makes for for a pretty psycho

Hey All,
I'd like to remind you all about Wednesday night's Ukulele SlowJam. I've
been working out strumming patterns and having a great time listening and
playing along to multiple versions of all these songs. I hope that the Jam
will prove both fun, inspiring and maybe a bit educational.

very interested in buying a used (good quality!) ukulele. My price range is
between $100-200 and I was puttering on a Saprano Uke in the fall, so I'd

Hi BUGs,
FYI - there was a songbook posted on our website titled "Ukulele
Wednesday Songbook" which has now been removed. It's a book of popular
hits from various sources compiled and formatted into one document by
a ukulele group in London who meet in a pub every Wednesday.
You may not be familiar with it because we never did use that songbook

This is probably how I sounded when I was ten, but of course back then we didn't have you tube. I also sang my heart out back then and hence the reason I can now not find a bucket large enough to carry my tune...my story and I'm sticking to it.
