Topic: Check out this SWEET stringed gift I got yesterday!

While chatting a few months back, I told my UPS driver (who is awesome, BTW) that I wanted to get a ukulele. She said she'd talk to the music shop on her route about ordering one. I figured she could get me a pretty sweet discount...but to my surprise, she walked in yesterday with this beauty!

I friggin love it! It's still a little awkward to hold, but most of the chords are simple and easy to play. It's such a different sound than my guitar and not all songs translate that well to it, but with the translation capabilities of chordie, I've already learned three or fours songs on it.

Anyway, just thought I'd share with you guys. I know you'd appreciate how awesome it was to get surprised with a gift like this!

Great! But how do people play an ukulele? are there special chords? Also a question about the BIG MEXICAN GUITARS? Wood, style of playing. They look very funny sometimes, watching a little Mexican playing it. You can see the top of his SOMBRERO and his SHOES.

Nice!  I firmly believe that everyone should have at least one ukulele, banjo, mandolin and guitar!!  Keeps you humble!!

She plays for the other team....lol.

She always tells me that if she didn't (and was younger) that she'd marry me, though.

What can brown do for YOU?!
