This week’s episode includes a recap of my experience in Milwaukee last weekend seeing Walk Off The Earth in concert at the Pabst Theater. I also discussed another avenue for podcast subscription (especially via cars) through Stitcher. A final encouragement was given to ukulele beginners to just keep strumming.
Shout-outs came in triplicate this week to my mama, my brother, and a college friend!
This week’s episode had a two-for-one special for the artist highlight (Grace and Tony; Victoria Vox). Though not a ukulele band, Grace and Tony were highlighted because of the special shout-out below. Cold weather care was also discussed, along with a follow-up to last week’s mention of the Bushman Ukulele Contest.
Shout-out given to Infinity, an 8yr. old who wrote a music review for a concert she went to with her father. You can find her review about Grace and Tony on her father’s blog here. The review ended up making a big splash on a lot of blogs. Congrats Infinity!

This week’s episode discussed ukulele-related gifts I received for Christmas, two artist highlights (Walk Off The Earth and Josh Innerst), and the opportunity to win a Bushman Ukulele.
Shout-out was given to Patrik from Sweden for not only an encouraging comment, but also because he discovered a mistake on Episode 2. Thanks so much for the correction! 🙂

As I was home with family for Christmas/New Year’s, this week’s episode involved a quick discussion about strumming options (using your hand or a pick).
Shout-out given to Julie, who commented on the blog that she had discovered the ukulele in a similar way to my own discovery. She now owns seven! If you haven’t seen the video we both saw, then you need to stop what you’re doing right now and watch it. I’m serious. It’s the first link listed below…
Welcomed my first guest on the show…my brother, Chad! If you noticed better quality to this week’s episode it’s because I was using his company’s podcast equipment. He wanted to give it a test run, and I was pleased to be his guinea pig. Thanks Chad! Actually, this whole episode seemed to be a family affair as my mother provided audio for my episode intro. Thanks Mama!
My brothers: Chad (on the left) and Scott (working the sound board).

**I made a mistake in listing the sizes of the ukuleles in this podcast. The correct order, from smallest to biggest, is: Soprano, Concert, Tenor, Baritone. Kudos to Patrik from Sweden for pointing out the error!
Things discussed in this introductory episode include: some biographical information about myself, my reasoning behind doing a podcast about the ukulele, and the implications behind the title Ukulele Lately.
