Ukulele Ladies (and Gents)

I just received my latest installment from Mr. Fretkillr (thanks Gary) and am off to find a ukulele for the reunion.

I think we should put together a little ukulele band. We have eight months to prepare!

Hi Diane, The nice thing about a uke, it doesn't take up much room. You send us a list of songs and I'll get Bob and Rob working on it.
We just got back from the OC, our sister in law Sue died. Bob, Linda and Mark were asked by Bob's brother Don to sing "Beyond The Sunset", a Hank Williams, Luke the Drifter piece, not a dry eye in the place. Mark did the talking part.

Welcome, back Helen.

I was beginning to think the paradoxers were boycotting the idea of a ukulele band. Next up, the accordion, which I also used to play as a kid.... Let's get that song list going!

Sorry to hear about your sister in law.

From Bob, uke songs I do, "Five Foot Two" ,"ain't She Sweet" both in "F" and "12th Street Rag"in "C". How about your's?

Well, at the moment, Bob... I don't play anything (although my entire family used to play a rousing ukulele band rendition of five foot two when I was in the 5th or 6th grade).

But I will learn all three of those by next year! And see you in my dreams -- that just sounds too wonderful on the ukulele to pass up!
