If you had a uke, you might have had the pleasure of having the Nikkei Horizons Ukulele Band come to play for you and your ukulele club last weekend. If you had a uke, you might have learned that the old guy in their club is 90 and the youngest 11, and you might wonder how old your club’s old guy is. You might find yourself experiencing even a tiny fraction of the happiness you see on this guy’s (photo above) face, surely brought on by the joy and delight of being in a room full of people who also think you need a uke. Sure, you could spend your winter afternoons watching lousy 70s movies on cable, or you could wander over to some fluorescent lit hall filled with aloha and song.
It’s your choice. But don’t say I didn’t suggest that you get a uke, already.
A few more barely adequate pics here. I was messing with the lighting settings in my camera so the results are not that great.

Boy those photos are great! Wish I’d have made it down there (and it was so close to where I live!).
Great post!
You’re mistaking the obvious charm of the players for photographic skill. 🙂 But yeah, you shoulda been there, it was really fun to see them play.
