I was at a MoveOn event a few weeks ago, and there was this teenage girl there with her parents. She had a uke with her. I thought it was really cool that teenagers are getting hip to ukes now - beats the hell out of Backstreet Boys or Britney!

She let me scope it out, and I was tickled to find that it was a Akulele - complete with a sticker of a moai on the inside (geddit? Aku-Aku meets Ukulele = Akulele!). It also had a pineapple motif carved into the back.

Hand made by some guy who I've been meaning to look up on-line...

...and I just did:

Uke lovers in Chicago: just confirmed a Uke sing-along with 6 to 8 players from the Old Town School of Folk Music, to be held during the next Tabu Tiki Nights on August 18 at Trader Vic's! Feel free to join in...
