Hey all - Mrs. emspace got me a cheapie uke (and "Jumpin' Jim's Gone Hawaiian" instruction book, a great collection of 30 hHawaiian songs) for Xmas, as I'd been blithering about getting one for some time. Am optimistic I'll earn the right to a good Hawaiian koa instrument some day (er...make that pretty optimistic). It's true Rev, the Portuguese immigrants brought the cavaquinho with them, an instrument that also made its way into Brazilian music and can be heard to this day in many very cool samba tunes. aloha, emsapce.
