Can't wait til it gets here. He said he would make it nice and low action to make easy on my hands.

Woo-hoo.

It looks nice, Wanda, and I'm sure it'll play really well with Mike's custom set-up for you. 'Better get set up to make your first recording for all of us!

Oh Wanda I think it is a wonderful choice. I am sure it will soon be singing sweetly to you and I bet you will have to fight Paul for it. He was really good. I am jealous that you will have someone with so much experience and knowledge to help you learn. I am with Tonya can not wait to see a Utube of a duet of you and Paul.

Getting Aquila strings, Al.

Paul promises he will not cockaroach my `ukulele.

Friends - thank you so much for turning me on to Music Guy Mike. I am the queen of customer service and I must tell you, I have never experienced anything like the service from Mike. I sent him an e-mail at noon here in Cleveland. Not 15 minutes later I had a reply to my questions...all the way from Kaneohe. Mike must have been up very bright and early over on O`ahu. And all susequent correspondence and questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly. I am more than impressed with doing business in this way.

Me ke aloha
Malama pono,
Wanda

Yea it is really rough when that little bugger bite you all the time I see a new Uke and first thought is Hmmm maybe but then I remember I do not have enough time for what I have. If only they were not such pretty little things! Can not wait to build one at AMC in just 103 Days not that I am counting mind you.

Hey Blaine - my "other" `ukulele is a Yamaha Clavinova...I can set the keyboard to sound like just about any instrument you can imagine and many you probably couldn't imagine.

Nancy - they are pretty little things aren't they?

You know it, did it come yet and are you playing it Huh huh huh ? :-)
Mike is a great guy when I ordered the wrong strings the other week he sent me 2 low G stings from another set not the same kind but at least they will do till I order again. :-)
Have Fun.
What is a Yamaha Clavinva ?

I don't have to cockaroach Wanda's new uke; we have plenty cockroaches on the buses at work. I mean plenty toys for me to play at home.

A Clavinova is an electronic piano. It is the size of a spinet and it has a disc drive where you can record your own tracks or where you can play music discs that are prerecorded and you add your part to them. In addition to playing regular piano, you just dial a dial and make it sound like violins or a guitar or horns or a kajilion other instruments, many of which I am unfamiliar. Hard to slack the keys, though.

Never goes out of tune like a real piano.

Love dem UPS tracking numbers...my new `ukulele is now in Ohio. Maybe he comes home to mama tomorrow! I am definitely starting to get excited.

I hope listening to Herb, Jr. no puts da damper....he is so talented, so good, so nice.

I can play da C chord.

Hey one chord could work...if I remember, one Bob Dylan song, Hollis Brown, is all one chord. All I gotta do is sing in a different key.

Wanda is at the door, accepting 2 packages from the UPS driver. One apears to be from Maui Coffee Roasters. (She said kope.)The other can only be her new ukulele. Later, Y'all.
