Look At What I Bought!

Isn't she cute? I got her when my new friend Shannon (who is teaching Children's Literature here this term) and I went to Eastbourne on Monday and got sucked into Bonners Music Shop. We both walked out with ukuleles. We have decided to form the Herstmonceux Ukulele Chamber Orchestra (HUCO) as a way of bringing some culture to these parts. More information about tour t-shirts and other such merchandise coming soon to a blog near you.

I'm learning how to play "Something" by George Harrison and "Fly Me to the Moon" by Frank Sinatra to start off. It is so - much - FUN! And now I can jam with my Mummy and David and Hal next time I see them all.

For those who are wondering, here are her vital stats:

MODEL: VUK20N
TOP: Mahogany
BODY: Mahogany
FINGERBOARD: Rosewood
FRETS: 12
BRIDGE: Rosewood
MACHINES: Open Geared
FINISH: Gloss

Haven't named her yet. Any thoughts?
