| Since the split with Aloha Camp, Mark seems to have left this site behind. |

From what I hear, the parting was not amicable. Can't say I blame him...

| The parting was most definitly not amicable. I was there. Just got a Xmas card from him and Annie, so he's out and about. The last time I talked with him, he said that he had to gig a lot to make up for the loss of Aloha Camp for him. btw, I don't know any details of why and how, so don't ask me. |

| That's too bad. Mark's music is da kine. The details of the split are not important. Dat braddah can sure play mean slack. Keaka, if you have means to contact Mark let him know the Patch still welcomes and embraces him. Ric |

He is missed sorely.

ta for the link Ric wonderful publication, Bill Tapia article is a cracking read and so many gems to find in the magazine, will share my uke buddies here in the southern shires who will be interested in listing our jam session here in Southampton, England I expect.
Mark Nelson's tutorials remain a keystone of my development on the uke, he's given me a boost of confidence to play live, fall over, pick myself up again and play. Just before Christmas I played couple of pieces from Mark's latest the slack key uke buke which to me is a gem of a work in a gathering of 'proper musicians' who loved the slack key style on the ukea and wondered about the tuning.
On Christmas Day I thought I'd pulled a beautiful trick on my girlfriend and wrapped her up a mandolin in big box for her to unwrap, she went one better behind the sofa was a Ridgefield acoustic guitar crafted from wood rather than ply, ebony inlays made by a luthier in Vietnam.
I have a birthday coming up in January top of wish list now is Mark Nelson's slack key guitar tuturial and Daniel Ho's slack key guitar tutorial. I've been playing Daniel Ho and Herb Ohta Jrs. uke tutorial book two for a bit now, i'm very much on a learning curve, playing for fun learning all the time trying to make the jump from ok in a quiet room to handling being able to play on a stage. I dunno how real musicians remember all them notes and how you lose the nerves to play live?

may Christmas have been as kind to you all as it has been to me

| I enjoy Mark's books and music a lot. I'm getting into The Uke Buke right now- it's a fun and easy way for slack key guitarists to learn ukulele. I learned several "new" uke songs over the Christmas weekend, even though I have only one month of experience on the ukulele. Mark will be at the Hodgepodge Hawaiian Grill in Eugene, Oregon on January 20th, 2012 from 6-8 PM. |

Me ke aloha
