So, my wife and I moved to the central California coast last year - and now that we are settled in - my wife decided she wanted to become a ukulelist. And, she wanted me to go with her - to play guitar in this band. The band is made up of people ranging in age from 60 to 90 - I'm 71. My wife went out and bought a ukulele and I told her to go the first time without me - and if she liked, I would go. I figured she would hate it. She loved it. After 50 years of practicing lead guitar, I'm reduced to playing the first three chords I learned when I was 12 (G, C and D) repetitively for an hour and a half every Monday. So, she signed the two of us, and I'm walking out the door right now to go play. I'll let you know how it goes.

Sounds like fun and at 71 being only able to remember 3 chords isn't far away.

I bought a baritone uke - because you tune just like the top 4 strings on a guitar, no new chords to learn and notes are where you expect them to be

This thing has a pickup - hook it up to an amp with some reverb and this and that and it wails... LOL great lead instrument

Bear, that's not a bad idea - maybe I'll do that. Thanks.
