A report from the first annual San Antonio Ukulele Fetival.

Uke players tend to be collectors, too. They see a certain uke, and develop a need for it. In truth, how many ukes do you need? I have a friend who has a beautiful hand-carved uke with a pineapple carved in the back. Wonderful sound. (Yes, someday you WILL be mine! YES you will!) So I head over to his house the other day, and what's he playing? A cheap $15 uke someone had painted with blue latex paint and glued Hawaiian flower stickers all over. Go figure, huh?

I only know three things about banjo ukuleles: 1) they're tuned like a regular uke, 2) they sound really great, 3) they're damn heavy. Here's a site dedicated to banjo ukes and George Formby, the late British musician most closely associated with banjo ukes. href="http://www.banjoukulele.co.uk/">Link Discuss
