Uke Crazy!
October 1, 2009Oh, yah - it’s UKE time!!! My friend and producer, Pete Dawson talked me into playing the ukulele live right after the Seabright release, and it’s been a big hit ever since. For years now, I’ve drug that thing everywhere, from Hawaii to Sri Lanka, D.C. to Decatur, and broken it 3 times! My amazing endorsement comes from a long time friend; Michael Upton at Kala Ukes shown here by his sweet ride…
He hooked me up with 2 beautiful new ukes to replace the old, glued one, and I am feelin’ the aloha!
I got to tour the offices a bit and take some pictures. Here’s a few rare ones in production and a shipment getting ready…
Also, just witnessed maybe the first-ever BASS ukuleles. The strings are rubber. It is acoustic/electric, plugs in and sounds like an awesome bass guitar!!! Crazy!
All in all, a huge thanks to Michael and Kala for such great instruments and generous support of my music. They are great people. When I met Mike he was making these in his bedroom, and now it’s an international, mega business…with the same heart and soul. Rock on, bro!!!!
