I have been consumed by the ukulele. I played for at least two hours today in between classes, going to the gym and doing homework. It makes such nice sounds! And I’ve found a website which pictographically demonstrates how to play each chord, and it even has some songs you can play along with. I’ve played a song by the Flaming Lips several times now, and can almost play it! That is to say, I can almost strum a shadow of the right chord a couple seconds after I’m supposed to, but it’s gratifying nonetheless.
This weekend Dave and I are going to Wiltshire, where Dave lives. It’s about two hours away, near Stonehenge and Salisbury. We bought our bus tickets today. It should be a fun trip, and I’m sure I’ll come back with some stories to tell. If I can tear myself away from my newfound love, the ukulele, that is.

I can just picture this!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good time. I tried the ukelele when I was younger. Have you been to Harrod's yet?
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't been to Harrod's. I don't think I can afford to breathe in there, haha.
ReplyDeleteWhat Flaming Lips song are you learning? I have been messing around with Jeff's guitar a little bit, but am no where near being able to play an actual song.
