    I love Friday Links!

    That was a great article from the San Fransisco Chronicle.

    And, I enjoyed the Christmas treats. “Christmas Time is Here” just became my newest project.

    Thanks so much, Woodshed!

    I agree about the article in the San Francisco Chronicle. It’s cool to hear about stuff like that…

    And if I may use this space? I hope you don’t mind but…
    I’m looking to buy an electric uke!
    I wish to play with some friends of mine and the only way would be to go electric!
    However…my budget is reallllly tight. The most I could afford is probably $200!
    I know it’s tough but if anybody knows of such an instrument I will be extremely happy! Thanks!

    Jupiter Creek make some reasonably priced and good looking electric ukes. They often turn up on eBay. There’s one in your price range at the moment.

    I haven’t played one myself, but I’ve heard good things.

    GASP!
    It’s…perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!
    Oh thank you, wonderful deity of ukes!
