NEW UKE
My new Ovation Ukelele arrived today. It is the cutest little thing. But I'm sending it back tomorrow. It sounds more like a $25 toy uke -- lacking in the richness that characterizes my Ovation guitar and acoustic bass. I'm feeling disappointed. Perhaps someday I'll get a Fluke Uke. I played one in a store once and really enjoyed the sound. Seems a hair pricey for what you get, though. But perhaps maybe someday.

Speaking of ukes, I hear that Jake Shimabukuro will be on Conan O'Brien tonight. I don't think I have the energy to stay up that late tonight.
