    Thanks for including my book, the title is however “Christmas Carols for Ukulele Orchestra” since it is for 3 or more ukuleles. :-)

    Is Jung punishing the kids for some transgression,
    Al? Bow tie. Says it all.

    Branded the ‘uke as uncool. Single-handedly.

    Tiny was just icing on the cake.

    Now, behave class, or I’ll send you to see Herr
    Doktor Jung. You don’t want to play the ukulele,
    do you?

    I was nine in 1959. Just back from Hawaii. Never
    gave a thought to the uke.

    And, yes, we all looked like those kids.

    Re ‘uke ads:

    There’s a newish parody of the match.com ad up on
    YouTube now.

    Gary quite rightly features one of the best ‘uke
    videos uploaded this year. In a just ‘ukulele world it would one the annual poll finalists.

    M. Ryan Taylor: Sorry about that. Fixed it.

    Stef: My pleasure!

    Ron: I think all teachers should wear bowties.
