Ukulele Fandom

I have a concert uke It's my favourite possession It’s all I can talk about It's becoming an obsession Playing day and night Loudly singing out of key Wildly optimistic About my ability Learning all the cheat chords And faking all the rest I play the only strum I know Hoping for the best And now I have uke envy I haunt the music store Looking at other ukes And wanting to buy more Boring everyone to tears With my ukulele chat I’m a ukulele fan now…. And there’s no going back

I once asked my stepson how many guitars he needed - just one more than I’ve got was his quick reply. Maybe Ukes are the same. Love your poem Julie .

Fellow music lover here too Yann :) That's very interesting about Marilyn Monroe. Makes the ukulele even more special :)
