Unfortunately, our Level 2 Workshop in Toronto will have to be postponed for a week, due to this demon cold. I’ve been fighting a brave fight, but alas, I’m not there yet.

SO, the first week will be Sunday Jan. 20, NOT Jan. 13. Still room in this class, so hopefully we can add a few more strummers to the mix.

On another note, I watched “Splendour in the Grass” again the other night….maybe for 20th time over my life. And again, it left me sobbing. Sigh. Heartbreaking. The minute the music starts at the beginning of the film, I want to cry. Kind of like ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’. Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty were SO good in the film. The score…brilliant. AND, I’ld forgotten those couple scenes where Bud’s runaround flapper sister is playing her ukulele. Fascinating how the uke was really integral in recreational life in the twenties and thirties, then seemed to take a few little snoozes over the decades…. fading but then re-emerging…. and now, I’m so happy to say, it’s back. I wonder if it’ll still be around, in all it’s teeny weeny glory, 50 or 75 years from now?
