Uke attack

There's been some kind of harmonic convergence around ukuleles in my life this week. My brother, who plays with the northern California band RoofTop Four, is a uke fanatic, so the instrument is already well established in my family... But then I was talking the other day with luthier Harry Eibert, builder of the incredible airplane uke and submarine uke (check them out here). And after I performed "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (on guitar), this showed up in my in box: a link to YouTube footage of this spectactular uke rendition by Jake Shimabukuro.

We've come a long way from Tiny Tim, eh?
