It was my birthday this past weekend. The family surprised me with a ukulele!? So, obviously, I spent a day messing around with that (instead of doing all the things I'm PLANNED to do on the weekend...)
Portrait of the Artist as a Turtle Playing a Ukulele
My first thought was “I should see what the library has and how-to-play books or sheet music for ukuleles…” when I said this out loud, Keiran looked at me like I was some kind of idiot (a look I am quite used to getting, at this point) and said “there are YouTube videos for that…”
Sure enough, there are a LOT of YouTube videos on how to play Ukulele - and lpads on how to play specific songs. Did I watch any of the basic how to play videos? ƑÜ¢K NO! I went straight to the How-to-Play specific songs videos!
It is the cutest little purple ukulele, but I gotta say, it is hard to squish all of my fat, sausages-like, turtle claws on that teeny-tiny fret board and shifting positions is hard…
