Very cute! You and your daughter make a great team. Hope you submit more videos. The Out Takes were fun to watch too. Captured a bit of the relationship you two have.

- My Musical Biography
- 1998 - Member of the drum ensemble, Batucada Yemanja.
2001- Palindrome, I was half of a hammer dulcimer duo that performed locally.
2008 -I formed a trio called Triple Shot. I play ukulele and percussion. Marj Paul plays fiddle and flute, and Mike Dorman plays bass and lap steel guitar.
When I was five yeas old, my mother bought me a white, plastic ukulele with rainbow colored strings. On the box was a picture of Arthur Godfrey. My mother learned three chords and three songs so she could teach them to me. One day she told me, 'The secret to the uke is in the strum.' I think she was on to something.
When my mother died, my sisters and I found three ukuleles when we were preparing to sell her house. It made me a little sad. She must have been playing secretly for years. I wish I had known.

Nipper said… - Thanks for your kind comment on my video lesson. Indeed this could be a great uke club learning tool. Perhaps you could do one, your playing with Triple Shot in the video is just wonderful.
