    Cool Kiwi Biker ukulele orchestra?

    Over recent months I have "taken up" the ukulele.

    Indeed so smitten am I with this Queen Of Instruments that I now have two, a soprano and a tenor. I also have callouses on my fingertips. Those who know will understand.

    Anyway, I am now at a stage where I feel a strange desire to meet with other ukulele aficionados for the purposes of the convivial thrashing to death of said instruments.

    Indeed a Wellington Chapter of the Kiwi Biker Ukulelisti may be of a mind to challenge other chapters for a "strum off" at a time and venue still to be decided?

    Are there any starters out there?

    So do you want to come and tiptoe through the tulips with me or not?

    Woah, get a bass one as well, and plug it into a big amp and play some phat licks on it.

    My next uke will have amplification. Power chords just aren't the same without it.

    Excuse me, but your age seems to be showing. :-)

    On a more serious note, I just bought my four year old and five year old a Uke each for Christmas. They have been begging me to teach them guitar but their hands just aren't big enough yet. We'll see how it goes...
