May I just say that if you have never heard 'Smoke on the Water'

[OrmIrian]

played on a ukulele, I strongly advise you to do so. It is very very comic and quite delightful!

DS#1 had his first guitar lesson last week and was taught to play just the bit that everyone knows. He doesn't yet have a guitar so he's been practising on DD's uke.

Tis very amusing.

He's been practising. A lot. DH started to whinge. But I just told him he was lucky DS didn't want to learn the violin

Ah sod the lot of yer!

You're missing out on something wonderful.....

The trouble is that whilst we would love to join you in the experience, it is quite specific and not available tothose of us with no musical talent and a notable lack of ukulele.
It is also hard to imagine - like Darcy Bussell doing panto - or katie Price refusing to do an interview as the questions were too intrusive.

But I am quite prepared to believe you that it is somthing not easily forgotten.

Perhaps I'll get him to post in on youtube. Then you can share....

I would love to hear it Orm! The PTA at DS's school bought 23 ukuleles last year and DS has been learning some things but they don't get to bring them home. Must ask the the music teacher to teach them Smoke On the Water - they'd love it!

Sort of Deep Formby kind of sound. Or George Purple.
