Hi Patrick,
Happy Birthday!
Here’s an Old Master painting of the Young Maestro at work, currently on show at the Louvre in Paree. The likeness is extraordinary, don’t you think?
Also, the Kings of Perfection have gone all orchestral and bring you this fanfare to celebrate the day.

Have a great time,

Chris

I’ve been playing ukulele for about 6 months and have just discovered the idea of trying to adopt clawhammer to the ukulele and I have fallen completely in love with the concept.

Hi mate

Just been watching all the recent posts,and normally I just comment on each: However I am so impressed with the wealth of talent that your site attracts that I thought ; why not say ,that all the music and players that you have encouraged mean so much more to me than any (produced ) music that is financially driven.

We see a variety of styles ,which all seem to blend and compliment each other, with no androgenous dross — Just an obvious love of music, and the willingness to share it.

Keep at it young Sir cos it seems to be just right.

Love to all.
Pete
