Wednesday night an adorable little 12 year old girl named Grace Vanderwall won this season of America's Got Talent. She is a singer, songwriter and ukulele player.

Tonight I went to Plaza Live in Orlando for a concert by Jake Shimabukuro and was blown away. He is much better in concert than he is in his online videos. He is the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele. He did a song called Dragon in which he starts out very quietly and he has a tape machine recording himself. Then half way through he plays back the tape and plays along with himself. He is playing lead guitar (lead ukulele) to his rhythm guitar (rhythm ukulele) accompaniment. He take the uke to places you cannot imagine. He is probably the only uke player in the world with a wah wah pedal and a pedal board.

So in honor of ukulele week I ordered a concert uke from Amazon. I have never played a uke other than occasionally messing around on one so this will be interesting. A new hobby. Should take me a week to master it. : It is a cheap one but it will get me started.
