From our Dec. 2012 walk down Kona storefronts...
a letter in a music shop window (Flea Market Music Inc., or similar name) It was after dark, so store was closed...
But took a picture,
allowing for glare off window, George's hand-writting--and my eyesight,
here's what I see...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
dated 2/2/99
it states:
"Everybody should have and play a 'uke'
it's so simple to carry with you
and it is one instrument you can't play and not laugh!
{glare here}...so sweet and also very old--
some are made of wood--some are made of armadillos. I love them--the more the merrier.
Everyone I know who is into the uke is 'crackers'.
so get yourself a few and enjoy yourselves--
Love from
George (Keoki)
Harrison"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Andy will try to transfer the photo I just sent to him, so maybe when he gets a break from the New York Stock Exchange and picking guitar, it'll show up here...
But what a cool hand-written note...
of course, this explains why I'm "crackers"!

Thanks Andy.
Your post is much clearer than my camera shot...
While mine had a cute character, with flash reflection, and also the frame (Koa?), and some Hawaiian plant drooping over the shot...
your's works better than my street shot.
and so it originated in a note to Flea Market Music in California,
somehow adopted by the little store in Kona. Wished it'd been open, but Karen is glad it wasn't! I do need an armadillo ukulele!
A substance harder than Maple, Oak or Koa...so a great back, if you don't mind the texture.
"I want to go home with the Armadillo"-- ukes that is! Make that Koa. |
