I am very proud of how quickly I have picked up the ukulele.  I have learned a lot in just five months.

However, today, one of my co-workers brought his guitar into the office.

Wow.  Just wow.

Okay.  He’s been playing for 30 years, but oh the beautiful pure sound!

I don’t suppose you can get that sound out of a ukulele; but maybe you can.  I just want to be able to play with something approaching that sound of confidence!  I want to play the hell out of my uke!  I’d like the skill, but I’m more than willing to fake it if someone can show me some tricks.

We had hoped to get to do some co-strumming but I couldn’t get the lawyers to back off long enough for that to happen today.  Fucking lawyers.  Don’t they know there is music to be played?
