I have had a great time these weeks with a little instrument named the ukulele. I had fallen in love with the uke years ago, but in the last few weeks I've started to enjoy a few more things regarding this instrument. One is a podcast that I just subscribed to called Ukecast. Wonderful little podcast starring a gentleman from Alabama and a lad from England. They explore and review music from uke players around the world. Moreover they give little lesson bites and accessory reviews. A great-fun-time for ukulele lovers.

Another is the website ukulelereview.com. I'm liking this blog so much that I've decided to link it over to the right. Apparently this is a newer blog, but the author seems to be writing and updating on a regular basis. Check it out.

I've also had some great opportunity to make big steps in the construction of my tenor ukulele. I'm hoping that what I'm developing currently can be a mainstay for a good tenor model. We'll see, with some spruce, mahogany, and love one can never guess.

I'm having a hard time believing that we are almost a decade into the new millennium. The time has passed so quickly. Regardless I am happy about 2008. So many things happen in 2008 that excite me. Take the elections in February and November for example. I always get excited when election years come around.

This year has also brought with it some more work for me to do, which is great when work is a labor of love. Instruments are starting to take over my living room and bedroom. Adrienne and I are excited about it now, but it's already looking like more space may be beneficial.

Even greater is that my building projects have resumed. I took a long break from building while getting nestled into a newer job, but with new drive and new resolutions building has come alive. Also in connection with resolutions I hope to be better about regular posts on this blog. Give the people a little something to read.

Have a good week everyone.
