In our busy, techno world of computers and phones and iPads and iPods, a handwritten thank-you note in my mailbox today, from one of my former UKEOLOGY students, made my heart go pitty-pat. I was SO very touched and honored. Her words were an incredible gift. As a stage actress and singer, the applause is the gratification. As a teacher, it’s the smiles on your students faces and the electric energy of accomplishment. Verbal praise is the yummiest icing on an already delicious cake!

THANK YOU lovely lady….you know who you are…and I appreciate you allowing me to share this here.  I post it to yet again show the power of music and joy and simplicity and freedom…..these are the elements of the ukulele that prevail for me. And I feel so lucky to get to share the love with all of you.
