I love my happy new sign, designed with love by my son, Nick Bujnak ( pardon the plug, but I AM a mom). Lucky me, to have a gifted graphic designer in the family. Doesn’t it just make you want to smile? And doesn’t that pretty much say it for the ukulele? I think my favorite thing about this instrument is it’s multiple possibilities for ‘happy-making’: the fact that you can not only play it with brilliance and if you choose to commit with passion, and embrace almost any piece of music that’s ever been written (with an instrument that doesn’t weigh much more than a bird,) OR, just have it be your new best friend and get a barrel full of easy peasy songs under your belt to play on the dock by the lake with friends and family and feel that undeniable joy that comes from music that YOU make. That’s ‘happy-making’.
