Perspective's a funny thing. Back in the '60s, despite all of his heroic efforts on behalf of our instrument, none of us around at the time budged from our guitars, or even took him the least bit seriously. Too bad, and with the prices then we could have ended up with seriously decent instruments (three or four hundred dollars in the mid-'60s bought very, very good guitars), our parents would have paid less than they did for our guitars (ever grateful) , we would have caused them much less distress with our banging about (now understand the fuss), & the ukes would have fit right into our high school lockers. Win-win all around. Now one of Tiny's ukes (granted, not just any one of his ukes, but still) is being offered for thousands of dollars. Which of us watching his wedding on the Tonight Show could ever have guessed? Of course, if there had been any association at the time between George Harrison and the ukulele (after getting over our shock) popular music history would be different today. Poor Tiny.
