After another rousing and laughter-filled ukulele festival, I feel that I am falling deeper into the ukulele world. To the point that JD and I have decided to start incorporating the uke into the majority of our band's songs. The ukulele has such a great timbre, but it also comes with an even greater community of ego-less, fun-loving, big-hearted people. Our hostess, Barb, has become our first Band Mom. She was the most generous and considerate woman I think I have ever met, constantly forcing food and drink on us. She even ran up to JD and I at the festival shouting, "My kids! Where are my kids?" to which we responded, "We're over here!!" :) That's the sense of belonging you get the uke world. I will have movies and pictures posted soon, and you'll be able to see for yourself. Until then, I'm off to learn uke chords.
Maybe one day you'll see The Mean Reds in big, ukulele lights.
