TLL Podcast 2 – The Vintage Ukulele Episode

Podcast Show Notes and Links: https://ukuleleunderground.com/2018/03/tll-podcast-2-the-vintage-ukulele-episode/ First off, we want to apologize for the sound quality on this one. Fish swim, birds fly, and computers crash (at the worst possible moments). We should be back to solid audio quality next week. Anyway, on this week's Thursday Live Lesson Aldrine starts things off as usual. He fields a couple of questions from our members, ranging from rolls and chunks to more advanced strumming that follows the rhythm of Hawaiian music. The second half of the lesson is an epic session of show-n-tell. Aldrine brings in his collection of vintage ukuleles (AKA his little babies) and explains how he acquired each one. We wrap up the lesson by announcing the winners of our special UU+ anniversary contest.
