I collaborated with a local luthier to create an Art Deco themed ukulele (my design, and his awesome skill). And, this is how it turned out... 💖 Jon Dale at Jupiter Ukuleles is the best!

This may be my proudest comedic achievement in my life. I laughed until I cried. Or maybe it's the stress. Either way, I feel so much better now... 😂

I saw this video posted today by Yo-yo Ma. His caption read something along the lines of "I spent decades trying to get this piece right."

Suddenly, I don't feel quite so bad that I'm still struggling to play Zelda's Lullaby a few weeks after picking it up for the first time. 😂

Super nice guys and an excellent mid-Tuesday jam... 🙂🐢
