Fine. You can take tickets. You’re also in charge of hair and makeup.

I deleted my reply. Don’t feel like getting banned tonight. :frowning:

why does he do these things🤨

I am an enthusiast of The Drink.

Hydration!

Learn the super easy C, G and F chords and you can play all kinds of songs and nearly halfway tiptoeing through some tulips. All the major chords are easy except for the E. It’s the dreaded F chord of the guitar :slight_smile:

No ukulele thread would be complete without this:

Jake Shimabukuru playing Bohemian Rhapsody:

And ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’:

Perfect examples of what you can play learning just the C G and F chords I mention immediately above! :grin:

Stay thirsty, my friend

Over-slaking leads to besottedness.

BTW, it’s ukUlele, with a U, not an E. Since we’re fighting ignorance and all that good stuff.

I had a brief flirtation with a tiple, which is tuned like a uke, only with beaucoup more strings. Impossible to keep in tune, I gave up on it after a few months.

And, as I learned when I took a ukulele lesson in Hawai’i, the typical mainland pronunciation, “YOOK-uh-lay-lee,” isn’t how it’s pronounced in Hawaiian – the traditional Hawaiian pronunciation is “OO-koo-ley-ley.”

I always reckoned Granny Hawkins would be better fixed to playin’ a Banjo.

EDIT: Washtub Bass, with a big old corny bare foot holding it down!

“sit down, son…let me show you how it’s done”

There’s always a song.

Get him to teach you this one:

A bit of uke trivia: the actress who played Susan, George’s late fiance, became something of a ukulele star after leaving the show. She tours occasionally leading the Heidi Swedberg and The Sukey Jump Band
