It was my first ukulele-related event and I had a great time. The teachers were, without exception, excellent, the evening entertainment was just outstanding and, after drooling over all of the beautiful ukes, I got the one Kimo played! Couldn't ask for much more. Hey Terry — many thanks for organizing the Uke Fest. It was my first ukulele-related event and I had a great time.

We all got to play the sing-a-long music. I have too many ukes to really just talk about. I have controlled my uke collecting addiction for now. But I realize I can fall off the wagon for the right dream uke. We all have our little vices. But I have to share the fever, The love of uke is too good to keep to myself. I can’t let people stay in silence when they are dying to be heard. People got to make music and sing. People need to know that music is fuel for their soul. Uke music keeps the spirit alive, and makes us all better people. Keep Strumming, Singing and Smiling, Terry Truhart http://www.nuiukulele.org Aloha Ralph
