Unique Ukuleles

It was a rainy, dreary day yesterday.  I had gone to the movies in the afternoon as I figured that's always a good idea for a rainy day when you're stuck inside.  After the movies I still felt a little sleepy from the gloomy weather.  I thought of a sign that I had seen a while ago.  I know I had chuckled as I read the poster.  "The Philadelphia Ukulele Orchestra...Well, that would certainly be interesting," I remember thinking to myself.

So, as I cooked dinner I figured I really should go check it out.  It would be something new and different.  (By now my readers should know that I love new and different things.)  I do not know much about ukuleles.  I know they look like tiny four-stringed guitars and I know they were invented in Hawaii.  The sound reminds me of my trip to Hawaii with my brother years ago, and that was a great experience.  I got myself up and out the door to head to see what exactly a ukulele orchestra was.

Well, as I stepped into the concert, the gloomy weather was the last thing on my mind.  The strings created a rainbow of colorful sounds as they were plucked.  The music brought bright, shining smiles to the faces of audience members.  It was spectacular.  I am so happy I had the energy to get myself out to see these fabulous musicians.  Check out some of the videos and links below to see who the Philadelphia Ukulele Orchestra is.
