COVID permitting, one of our grandkids wants to learn to play ukulele, then guitar at our Christmas family reunion in the MidWest. We're doing what we can to assure a COVID-safe reunion.
Tom said:Thanks for the confidence Tom. As we found with running uke classes at a grade school, Kids are like sponges and soak this stuff up. Wish I'd been taught to play a musical instrument when I was a kid.
Aye JD, I have a video of a "first uke lesson" with one of the grandkids when he was 3 or 4.
SeilerBird said:Tom - I bought me a Martin six string and I am terrible at playing guitar now. For the past four years all I have been playing is ukuleles. I have been ignoring the guitar and now it really shows. I suck. On top of that my singing voice is rotten. I was going to make a quick video to show it off but I am not good enough to do it. ( I should have listened to Fleetwood Mac when they said 'Don't stop'.
Don't remind me - I lost my singing voice altogether in 2018. After seeing various ENT Docs and vocal therapists, then several visits with the vocal clinic at UCSF Med Center, the diagnosis was a breathing issue - insufficient breath to support the notes. Met with two other departments at UCSF. They changed a couple of my meds and prescribed a new wonder med ($$$$) administered via injections every two weeks. Chris gave me the first injections this week.On top of that my singing voice is rotten
All the rocket launches I have photographed was in Florida. None were gone bad, it is just that the upper atmosphere winds distort the plume they leave.X-Roughneck said:Tom,
I bit off topic but I was viewing your 2019 Pics...Think you are in Florida. Was that a Rocket Launch gone bad or what? Elon Musk / Space-X Shot out of the Cape?
Not a Ukuleles player but love to listen and peck around RV Forum to all kinds of music...

Let me tell you a little secret. When you are looking at any of my photos on Google there is a little icon in the top right corner of the photo that has the letter i inside a circle. That stands for Information. Click on it and a screen opens telling you all the gory details of the shot (aperture, shutter speed and all that crap). Scroll to the bottom of the window any you will find the location of the shot and a map of exactly where the shot was taken. This is call the EXIF information and is available on most all digital photos if you know where to look.X-Roughneck said:Tom,
