Who really knows why at my age (55) I decided to learn to play an instrument? Why after all the choice there is in the world did I learn to play a UKULELE??
It all started back to july in Avignon 2009 when I saw a musical show there. In it one of the musiciens was playing a Sousaphone which seemed easy and intrigued me. (What is the link with a Ukulele I can hear you say!) Anyway, I decided to see how much it costs, (the Sousaphone) and finding it too expensive I decided to let my projet slide, but not really, as that is the way my mind works: keeping things in the back of my head until something germs...
Anyway, one day, near the end of september 2009, I was amusing myself on the web when I found myself face to face with an add about ukulele's. it was a real revelation. Something struck me saying that is for you!! Was it God?? Is he a ukulele player?
(Another good point about them is there low price... My first one the Tenson was only 35€. )
So, without really thinking about it, I bought one for that price and that was when the fever began... Now I am in love with my uke.
In fact, I have two of them, one at home, the good one and the one that is in the photos in this blog, which is my takeaway one if whenever I decide to go anywhere. I have been amazed at my progress and am really progressing rapidly.
What a lovely instrument.
Oh, yes many thanks to all those that leave partitions everywhere on the web permitting me to play my golden oldies. and another thank you to UKEHUNT which does an incredible job in keeping UKE fans up to date.
