Hey Taropatchers,
Have you been naughty or nice this year? Do you have any favorite gift ideas for this holiday season? New gear, must have albums... I need some inspiration.
Quid pro quo.
My last 3 CDs:

Good CD selections Andy...
One thing that might be nice is to get is one of those tiny new clip-on tuners now made by d'Addario. Jeff Peterson has used one and likes it (and they are very tiny and easy to travel with).
I will think of more stuff later...

Is that one of these? NS Micro Headstock Tuner
I also just ordered a Snark tuner because I heard that it's easy to read. |

Yep Andy, that is the one.
P.S. - I should have said "sold by" rather than "made by" d'Addario.
Since, as we all know, all this stuff is made in one or more of those CHINESE MEGA-MANUFACTURING plants ( like FOXCONN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn ) that make nearly everything these days.
P.P.S. - I have a Snark tuner as well (there are several versions) but the little "ball stem clip" broke very easily and is being held together with a tie-wrap.

| Always have a spare tuner on hand. New strings always qualify. Oz's CD is OZSOME! |

My $0.02
Ukuleles....slacked down. Many of us know and love our songs on guitar, but I have been experimenting with working out songs on the Ukes, albeit, in dropped tunings.
Makes relearning some songs really fun. Almost finished with Kaopuiki Aloha on uke. Note for note.
Give the gift of music. Albums, instruments *insturments (for you Craig P) tuners, anything to help rekindle the passion.
I'm gonna go look up the Snark Tuner, new to me.
Lawrence?.... you still here in Santa Cruz? Why you no write
Emoticon #4 in 11 years for me.
Aloha! |

Never was in S.C. (except for short visits), I stay near bay.
and I write all the time, but sometimes I wrong. 
I see you are feeling Piffleanimous, maybe you are in the holidaze. 
as many emoticons and ellipsis pass by...
P.S. Talking about shopping...
I was in the Apple store in the other day.
I spotted a strange and interesting looking gadget.
I asked the very hipster young saleslady what it did.
She replied,
"It does nothing at all, it's a Christmas Present!"
(I never knew just what it was, and I guess I never will)

While some of us are still looking for gifts that haven't arrived...
I ordered Island View cd from Ozzie Kotani's website on Dec. 7, 2014, with priority shipping.
I guess I was bad last year, because it hasn't arrived yet.
I have sent requests to website, and will go back to credit card statement to see if it actually was billed and posted.
Is anyone aware of delays on "Island View", perhaps out of stock or back-ordered? |

Gordon- I mailed Ozzie. Will let you know if I hear anything. He may reply to you directly.
For Christmas, I got myself an iPad. In an effort to eliminate my disorganized binders of music lyrics, I got the unrealBook app. I look forward to trying it out soon. |

Kawika Kahiapo just announced the release of his all slack key album on Facebook, "HO'OMALUHIA".
For your iPad, Andy:

| Thanks Andy, for sending a heads-up. I heard from Ozzie. Problem being solved. Those of us in "Cottage Industries" understand...it's quite a bit of work for the revenue...but thank God AND teachers that share their knowledge and art. |

My bad. Last time I saw youse, 'twas in Santa Cruz, or Felton, or somewhere. Involved a parking lot and alcohol. Maybe I should put down the pipe.
Uke Fest at Bocci's is coming up...going?
I've used up all my emoticons.
