Last Christmas I bought Lovely Lynette an inexpensive ukulele. Last night I picked it up, tuned it, and learned a few chords. Before the night was over I had a few poorly played songs under my belt.
The plan: Lullabies for Baby Boy. Here's the beauty of the ukulele: I think it's the most nonthreatening, least pretentious instrument I have ever picked up. (It's quite a turn from the violin.) It's impossible not to smile while playing it. And it's impossible not to smile while listening to someone play one.
Seriously, once I figured out the chords to In Between Days by The Cure I was dancing a little jig in my living room. Next: Boys Don't Cry.
