Win a KoAloha, Ukulele Guild of Hawaii Exhibition 2009: Friday Links

You can win a KoAloha ukulele and help build schools in Cambodia on Nerd’s Eye View.

Video from the 8th Annual Ukulele Guild of Hawaii Exhibition. Some unbelievable, crazy ukulele work going on.

Todd’s doing a great series of turnarounds on the ukulele.

Bid on a ukulele lesson from Victoria Vox for charity. And here’s the best video I could find of her appearance on Jay Leno.

You can now get ukulele chord shapes sent to you via Twitter and SMS. Tweet the chord you want to @ukechord or read the instructions here.

Xmas MP3s: Garfunkel and Oates have recorded a new extra-Christmassy version of Present Face you can grab it for free on their website. And you can get Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer’s Christmas Song in exchange for your email address here.

Pictures: Fire (Turn the Hose on Me), folk.

From ReyalpEleluku: “A young man who was inebriated and who was carrying a ukulele had been arrested and charged with unlawful possession. His only offence seemed to be that he was playing his own ukulele.”

    …@Todd, many thanks for the turnaround vids, they’re really cool…coupled with Als awesome and all things considered, under priced Blues ebook, they’re helping to improve my bluesing…I’ve even asked my good lady to get me a harp and a jim dunlop harp handle for christmas…

    …I was almost loving the arch tops on the guild vid…shame about the weird cutaway shape…the bass ukes were well represented…

    Acilius: I think it’s the first time I’ve ever seen any of that show. Don’t think I’ll be rushing back to it.

    todd: Thanks for doing the videos (and bigging me up in them).
