Big Island Ukulele Co. KT-SP Full Review
2September 3, 2010 by Tim
Reality is that this is one of those opportunities that I could not pass up. This is the ukulele that I received at NAMM this summer. I don’t think Jorma thought I was serious at first when I first talked to him. He let me play some of his ukes that were on display, but you really can’t hear them on the noisy floor of the convention center. I asked if he would possibly let me review his least expensive model. He said he needed to think about it and for me to come back in a few hours, I did. He then still needed to think and he wanted me to come back just before the hall closed for the night, I think he thought I would forget or not be able to find him again, but I did. He then pulled out a beautiful uke from a box and handed it to me. Over 2 month later I am ready to review it.

Happy Play your Ukulele Day
6May 2, 2010 by Tim
I think is is appropriate that May 2 is the day that everyone who has a ukulele, less it be a $2 one to a $10,000 jewel of a ukulele, play it and spread the ukulele love. So as one uke player to all the rest, HAPPY PLAY YOUR UKULELE DAY!!!!
One question, why are so many people saying National Play Your Ukulele day? Shouldn’t it be International Play Your Ukulele Day?

Here is a video that I had to make for a class. I liked it so much that I figured I would share it with all of my uke family.

Lil’ Rev Drop Baby Drop CD
2February 2, 2010 by Tim
The best way to describe the album is written on the back:
“Drop Baby Drop is an enchanting collection of rare blues, rooted originals, novelty, old time country, and rusty old tin-pan alley classics performed on concert, tenor, baritone, banjo, and resonator ukuleles by award-winning Uke master Lil Rev”

Some know that I work at Illinois State University as a computer tech, but by night (sometimes during work) I am passionate about ukuleles. To prove it, here is a link to my schools new State Your Passion campaign video site. I am in the first video.
