Well, it paid off, because the library has a shiny new ukulele to use for children's programming! Sometimes being a hopeless case gets your library free stuff. Sometimes. Other times it just gets you 300 magazines to the face when the bookend that was wedging them in place slips.
I've resolved to create a practice schedule, and I found a YouTuber who does ukulele lessons. He comes highly recommended. I'm ready for finger-calluses and to make all who overhear my practices cringe and flee in horror. I am going to learn the ukulele. I am READY.
To top that all off, I know a real live person who plays--she can help me--and Jennifer can help! Jennifer can do anything musical. She has skills. Basically, Jen is Julie Andrews without the habit and the children wearing clothes made of curtains.
The only way I could be happier about this situation would be if the ukulele came with a box of DeBrand's Chocolates.
Happy Ukulele Day, everybody! With any luck, someday I'll be this good.
I want to sing like Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. I also want her dresses, but I'll need her tiny waist first.
ReplyDeleteYou already sing like Julie Andrews. And we all want her tiny waist. Also her dresses.
