Although there are some small groups here and there who meet up to basically jam uke music, they are not permanent.<br />I will consider it in due time.<br />Glad you have observed the upbeat trend in ukulele playing. In Singapore, schools are starting to introduce ukulele to their kids rather than the old-fashioned recorder.<br />From the uke, it is easier to progress to the guitar.<br />I strongly encourage anyone young or old to take this up.<br />As you mentioned, the ukes made in Asia are good and cheap($ 30-45 our money), good enough. My recent performance in June..I deliberately used a MAHALO soprano uke costing only $30. I told the crowd about this to encourage them and their kids. Although I brought along my handmade KAMAKA ( more than 1K Sing $ ) I did not use it.<br />Thanks for this lovely post.Unk Dickohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050766265321887439noreply@blogger.com
