Hey Finkdaddy, Welcome to the wonderful world of Ukulele. You will probably find it somewhat addicting (as if tiki wasn't enough.) There is a ton of info and links here on TC pertaining to the uke. Just rev up the search function and start browsin'

As for fingers and picks, personally I prefer my fingers for strummin' and pickin' on the uke. I think it has a softer and mellower sound to it. Although when playin' a guitar I prefer a pick. But I say go with whatever works for you and have fun.

Hey Whoolycat, I wouldn't mind getting a hold of the "Coconut Island" chords too. I searched a round a few times onlinefor them and always came up with nada. Maybe if you have the gumption you can post them on TC for us all.

Here are a couple of my favorite links and threads that offer info and music on the "jumpin' Flea."
