World Uke Day* By Amanda on July 16, 2008 7:27 AM | Permalink | Comments (4)
Went to the monthly Balmain Ukulele Klub meetup on Monday night over at the Gladstone Park Bowlo. It was Dylan night! I do not play the ukulele and don't anticipate taking it but it was a lot of fun and it warms me to know these thriving subcultures exist across the city. The house band of friends of mine (buy the CD) did a great job with some Dylan songs, including a clever Red Sails in the Sunset/Beyond the Horizon medley. Then there was a ukulele tutorial on more Bob songs, then an open mic of Bob songs. All on uke, of course. Col Joye was there, big uke man apparently.

Nothing better than a bunch of ukes - except a great pun.
9/10. Keep up the good work.

Ukes and puns do seem like unusually easy bedfellows.
Stolen as I say from the MC on the night. Too good not to nick.
