Yup, folks. Keith was using ringtones on his cell phone to oscillate the stringed instruments on stage last night, hands free! I think it has something to do with the frequency of resonance. Here, Keith is singlehandedly performing the Bohemian Rhapsody on everyone else's instruments. Any theories on how this works?! Ric

HuH?? He was supposed to be at Kaisens. We may have to revoke his membership.

Are cell phones allowed on stage at Kaisens and acknowledged as bonafide musical instruments there, Dusty? Was that you calling him asking him where he was? We'd sure like to hear the response! LOL! Ric |

Dusty, Dusty Dusty! Kaisen's is Tuesday -- MBUS is Wednesday -- Ukulele Society of America is Thursday. Whew --- too many choices in San Diego!!!
I use a similar device called a "Hula Girl Shaker" to loosen up the soundboard tops on my ukuleles and guitars. Same principle as the cell phone -- but then Dr. Marzullo is a pretty talented professor and brought the same techniques up to date. Me, ever much the Scot, I prefer the wire and clothespin.


No joke -- you can find out how to make one here: http://www.ukuleles.com/Technology/HulaGirlShaker.html |

He sent the message on 09/24/2008, which was Wednesday, thereby making "last night" Tuesday night! Hence my response.

captain,
don't forget that dusty is also a professor, and can thus argue with the best of them...
it's like that old joke about the guy in a hot air balloon who got lost for a few days in a fog bank. when the fog cleared, he found himself over a field with a guy standing in the field. the balloonist hollered down saying "hey! where am i?" and the guy in the field hollered back "you're in a balloon!"
so, the balloonist concluded he was over UCSD and the guy was a professor, since the answer, while completely correct, was worthless...
very cool gizmo, btw!
aloha, keith
