Gyoza Heaven and My Ukulele


Nothing better than an Ukulele and a good meal...and this is the best. In Tokyo (Omotesando) there is a Gyoza Restaraunt that servers gyoza like nowhere in the world.

FYI if your not taking your ukulele with you for dinners...then your not a real ukulele lover.

Domo Arigato "Mrs. Roboto"

On a building front in the area known as Roppongi (in Tokyo) is this unusual piece of ...Art???

It just looked like it needed an Ukulele to make it a little friendlier(just another Ukulele adventure)

The Traveling UKE

Yes, I do enjoy playing the Ukulele ..even if its just to pose for the camera.

This picture was taken just outside of my place France. If to open the picture larger, you will notice in the picture how seriously I take the Ukulele.
This next picure taken in Tokyo Japan (early 2007) shows how I got to be the Big Boy that I am!
Ok I never really had one of these but it sure was tempting ... 4 pattys and one guy with an Ukulele. I would have tried it but....I saw coronary not culinary ....all over it.

My personal Opinion of the Uke.

Funny thing about ukuleles' is that they are just fun.

Most people I know that have one love it. It's usually more about fun and enjoyment than just making the instrument sound precisely like a particular song.

Don't get me wrong. the Ukulele is a beautiful instrument that can sing like it should...unless I'm playing it then it screeches like a car with bad brakes.
As I play around with it I find I spend hours and hours just plucking or plinking or strumming and before I know it, it is very late. I wake up tired wanting to stay home and rest....and of course play some more.

the Ukulele has so many different variations in it styles and sounds it makes you want to try them all...ok I makes ME want to "buy them all".

I just cant get enough of my Ukulele!!

Ukulele is Serious yet fun

First and most important the Ukulele can be a truly beautiful instrument ....but you can also have a lot of fun.

I believe this to be the Soup-a-Lele
