Let's head up to Uke in the booth


So I recently recieved a Ukulele and I basically can't keep my hands off it. Today I walked the full 15 minutes from school clutching it and playing different chord progressions. Some people smiled, some frowned, and some took their shirts off. Ok, that was only me. Not really. Anyway, I can tell I'm about to learn dozens of songs on this thing, and my fascination only seems to be growing. I stumbled across this guy Jake Shimabukuro who I understand is something like the Jerry Douglas of the ukulele, and while he's pretty clearly a goober, his playing is damn fine. Enjoy.

  1. So help me out here -- is it the shades and gel that makes him a goober? The music was beautiful!
