Well, it looks like most folks have gone back to lurking. I've found ukulele players are much harder to provoke than banjo players. I suppose it's because...
I need to get some new strings for my Lanakai concert and I am not sure what brand I want. I have tried several on other ukes and I am not really sure what I...

Hi Francis, I certainly don`t think of Dale`s posts as trolling. I sincerly think he simply wants to create some dialog between members here. When I post my...
I am mostly a guitar player singer, but I always play and sing some ukulele material at gigs. I have a booking the 14 and would like to add one or two new...
Dale, I'm curious about how many members are in the banjo group compared to this group. When the postings got to be too active for my tastes recently, I...
Jody, So far, so good. I haven't had as much time to play as I'd like, but the times I have, I've been MUCH happier now that I can play standing up without...
Don, I understand Francis' reply. Dale himself used the word "provoke" and appeared to me to try and do just that when he said maybe we aren't as passionate....
Don, How 'bout Lifehouse's "You and Me"? or Howie Day's "Collide"? (Hmmm...you are giving me ideas. I always have to capo both on guitar...might be sweet on...
JIM, LOL!! If you got a few extra piercings, it would make it easier to play multiple instruments in various tunings. Linda H jimravoira <jimravoira@...>...
Don, just this week I took a stab at "Til There Was You" and found it ideal for the ukulele. It would work well on Valentine's Day. It's the song from "The...

Dear Linda, Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I myself have been guilty of wording posts in a manner that people took as being ukulele snobbish and...
Remember those wooden spools of thread? When they were empty we would put 4 nails on one end and would knit a rope. That would make a nice soft rope to put...
Let me see. Where to start. Gloria I prefer D'Addario strings, but not the standard sets. I gauge each string to suit my ear. There are slightly over 1000...

There is a wonderful rendition of that song by THE MAD TEA PARTY that you should hear on a recent CD. The name of the CD escapes me but I'm sure someone will ...
Lucille, Thanks for the posting. While not a fan of electrified anything, she produced a wonderful sound from her instrument. I especially liked Tico Tico....
Jim, You can't hurt my feelings. Banjo players develop this "suit of armor" soon after we begin to learn to play the banjo. As the years go by this "suit"...
LOLOLOL I like that, Jim! I had no idea when I decided to take up the banjo that banjo players were made fun of.... Didn't put me off though! :-) Jody Dale...
