I am a ukulele playing fool! I love my uke. It's in my trunk downstairs right now. MrsTwain calls it my "second wife" LOL.

Here is a short youtube video of me working out a classical piece that I've loved since I was a boy.

Keep it up! The ukulele is riding a strong wave of popularity right now.

I don't play it much any more, but my mother used to have a banjo-ukulele. She played it fairly well; as for me, I learned a couple of chords and plunked on it from time to time.
