Man, just when things were starting to happen for the Smokin' Menehunes, our ukulele player tells us she has to step aside as our tiki locomotive rolls down the track. (that was a lame analogy).

Last night when Shirley told me, it brought back bitter memories of being dumped after telling an ex-girlfriend I was going out on her years ago (Hey damnit! I do the dumping around here, I replied as she drove off into the sunset).

So at band practice last night, I break the news. Yeah, we went through the motions of practice. You know - tune up, drink, turn the amp on, drink, cry, drink. But something was missing - it was our ukulele player.

What a dumb instrument - the UKULELE! It looks like a stupid shrunken guitar! But jeez, I missed it's STUPID SHRUNKEN UP beautiful sound.

Well, today I placed ads in all the hula halaus in the area. Placed an ad in the recycler, had a sky-writing ad done, and now I'm sitting right by my phone waiting. Wait. Wait. Wait...

I just have to make sure that when a uku player comes over to audition, I don't jump on 'em like a felon would a hooker after being in the slammer for 20 years.

Just take it nice and slow Bong. Just take it nice and slow...

I bet there's 1,000s of ukulele players just waiting to get into the Smokin' Menehunes!

Waiting. Waiting...

"I'm ashamed to be here, but not too ashamed to leave..."

Celebrate 'International Tiki Day' the second Saturday in August - Hau'oli La Tiki!
