30 Ukulele, 30 Artists – although all the best ones are sold already.

Hilarious parody of ukulele boy.

Demetri Martin busts out the uke at about 7:50 (thanks to Ben).

Ukulele ad banned for reinforcing racial stereotypes.

I got mentioned at SXSW (slide 37). Looks like an interesting presentation on the pentatonic scale.

Rocky and Balls are playing Como in Italy. If you’re not familiar with it check out some pictures.

Student Union election victory for ukulele playing candidate at my old alumnus causes some controversy. Although the best reason for voting for him has to be, “… he has great etiquette on the lacrosse pitch.”

I have to find a ukulele player for a bridal shower in a few hours. What shall I do? I know, I’ll use Yahoo Answers.

Photos: More art ukes, J’ai perdu mon ukulele, My favourite accessory.

I’m in a bad mood at the moment so this might change when I’m back to my usual ‘rainbows and fairy-wings’ self but the Monday Exposures won’t be every week any more. They’re always the least commented on and least read posts.

    The last slide of 30 Ukulele,30 Artists shows ahand at the headstock that we didn’t see at first until we enlarged it. It is our favorite one.

    And,congrats on SXSW slide 37, Al!

    Dan: If I was desperate for my uke back I think I’d swallow my pride for a better chance of getting it back.

    Mike: Sounds like a good description to me.

    Rob: Thanks!

    Ron and Jeanne: That’s my fave too – for the body bag as much as the uke.

    Re: Marvellous boxes

    You so deserve some kind of award for research above and beyond the call of duty, period!

    I went to the 30 Ukuleles, 30 Artists exhibition yesterday. It was magical, the Dead one was good but the one with legs and arms and eyes…Genius.

    Shirley: Thanks very much! Can I have a parade as well?

    Zoway: Cool. I wish I could have seen them in the (rotting) flesh.
