It's coming along quite well. I desperately wanted to play something when I got a chance to have some alone time. I don't play by ear by any means, but it was so much less daunting that I just played the "postcards from Italy" Beirut song sort of out of no where. I've also learned the all-important "Kumbaya" (the song book I'm borrowing has lots of old hymns) as well as the beginings of "Dream a Little Dream". I also tried the Beatles tune "I Will" last night, but had to cut it short. Of course David, our bass/guitar player just picked it right up and went to town. The sound is soo gorgeous! I can't get enough of it. I was glad that Marissa seemed to get a kick out of it as well. She got a little greedy with it, which I liked. I'll have to buy one for us soon-we're using the borrowed one to record this week.
Here's a heartcrushingly good song from Beirut...kind of big in the Ukulele world and beyond.
My coworker, Julie is letting me borrow her ukulele for a short while so that I can try it out/get comfortable enough to go ahead and buy one. I can't think about much else other than going home and tinkering with it. Yipeeeee!
