“Craze my be over, but uke sales still going strong”. An interesting survey of 1,000 ukulele retailers. There’s not much to backup that headline though. Over half of the retailers have seen sales rise over the last year and only 9% expect sales to drop in the next few months. Seems like Kala’s basses might be included which would swell their numbers.

Thanks for all your hard work, as always.
Just fyi, Magnum PI link appears to be dead and you also seem to have forgotten to do a version of Green, Green Rocky Road and all the other songs from Inside Llewyn Davis. I’m sure that was just an oversight and we can expect it/them directly.
