OMG! OMG!

I JUST ACCOMPANIED MYSELF!

After a lifetime of being able to sing, I just played an instrument along with my singing for the VERY FIRST TIME!

OK, so it was Hush Little Baby, and in not a great key for, you know, actually singing, and it has two easy chords, but I still feel accomplished!

And Mr Brammers congratulated me. And then laughed when I made my ukuleles kiss each other in excitement.

And I may need to buy a Baritone ukulele, because it would be nicer in that pitch ...

But YAY!

In other important news for the day, HAPPY BIRTHDAY [info]kayoko ! I know you're Glee-ing at the moment, but your cheery posts always make me smile, and I hope that there has been an avalanche of joy in your day!

And [info]al_hazel , I hope that wherever you are and whatever you're doing, it's a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, too!

My mind went to a totally different place from music when you said that you had just 'accompanied' yourself. Issues, I have them.

But yay! And yay for kissing ukeleles! :D

You do realise that sometimes you are so adorable that it actually, physically hurts not to be able to just give you a hug?

Congratulations! How wonderful. Do you want links to ukelele performers on Youtube? I have gone through little ukelele watching phases.

Well done you! That's a lot harder to do than people think, if they haven't tried it :-)

Congratulations! Well done, you.

I should really dust off my guitar one of these days. Not today, though. Or tomorrow, for that matter. Or... huh. Maybe October?

We need 'Brammers with Ukulele' artwork.

This line made me laugh out loud! I'm loving your ukulele posts! (No, you don't actually know me. I just read all your fic.) lol

Congratulations!

A friend of mine runs - or did run - a ukelele meetup group, in case you're interested in bonding with other players!

Can I put in a request for next Easter? Masses of small children with boffers attacking helpless grown men, to the amazing accompianament of The Roses Ukulele Band?

Lovely! Nicely done.

Go you! I vote for Smells Like Teen Spirit next. That would be great on ukulele.
