Friday Links

More technical issues this week. If you tried to access the blog on Thursday morning, you might have noticed the site was down. Boing Boing – very kindly – linked to me in their regular cute ukulele girl post. This sent a flood of visitors and shortly after a, “We notice your site is very popular today so we’ve shut it down,” email from my web hosts. We’re back in business, but they forced me to reinstall the plugin that caused the last problem. So if you notice anything acting strange – like new posts not appearing on the front page – let me know.

Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain will be playing the Albert Hall as part of this year’s Proms.

Bosko and Honey start dishing out ukulele tips (you have to sign up to see them). And they give me top billing over Jake and James (just thought I’d mention that).

Sketches for Amy Crehore’s Ticker 2 ukulele. Which seems to have been ‘coming soon’ since forever.

Bill Tapia shows us his underwear and his “unconventional friendship”.

The French win at cool ukulele book covers and skinny ukes.
