[quote author=Roadhappy]I wish I could play an instrument.(any instrument) :-\ [/quote]
Robin, FWIW four years ago I'd never played a stringed instrument, and my only other attempt at playing an instrument was when, 17 years or so ago, I taught myself to play a keyboard (not very well). A month after buying my first ukulele, I almost gave up, but was fortunate to have a guitar-playing friend buy himself a uke and teach me some very basic strumming.
Apart from the fact that it has only four strings and a narrow neck, and is therefore 'easier' to play, the small size makes it ideal to take along in the coach.
