Ha!-Ha! Yeah, man, I agree with EVE...<b>SHEBOYGANBOY ~</b><br />Ha!-Ha! Yeah, man, I agree with EVERYTHING in your comment. I don't mind those other micro-instruments either. But the ukulele - it's just SO high-pitched, and despite the fact that it does have a fretboard, making the forming of a variety of chords possible, every chord sounds almost identical to me because they're just so "stepped-on-a-cat's-tail"-sounding.<br /><br />I think, to be honest, the ukulele always sounds like it is making either Chord #1 or Chord #2, and that's all! I can hear a slight change in pitch when different chords are strummed but regardless of the number of chords, it always sounds to me like: <br /><br />LA-la-LA-la-LA-la...<br /><br />OR...<br /><br />BORING-boring-BORING-boring-BORING-boring...<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

It isn't that I don't like...GAH! is right!<br /><br />It isn't that I don't like ANY petite stringed instruments. I actually own an antique mandolin that was my aunt's. It was made in 1923 and it sounds cool! I love bluegrass music, and like the use of the mandolin in rock occasionally, such as Rod Steward did in the early 70s. I like the lute, too.<br /><br />But the uke really can only be strummed and seems to just be accompaniment to a voice. At least, I've never seen one "picked". "Nice ukelele solo, Waylon." Ha.<br /><br />My son-in-law bought a uke (without consulting me, of course), and - although I don't question his manhood - it DID give me pause to reflect!Sixnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557564794535751440.post-56023817630545345832012-02-10T00:01:16.798-08:002012-02-10T00:01:16.798-08:00SHEBOYGANBOY SIX ~

That's why I found Petty's remarks so surprising. I mean, REALLY? He loves the ukulele? Hey, you know I sincerely have a soft spot in my heart for Tiny Tim, but I told him he has to leave his uke outside!<br /><br />It seems to me that the only people who could love the ukulele would likely also be the only people who could love the bagpipes.

In fact, I bought Warren Zevon's 'Excitable Boy' album at a Licorice Pizza on Wilshire Blvd., pretty much on the border of Santa Monica/West L.A.<br /><br />The reason I can remember that is because the store was advertising this special offer: They were so sure everyone would like it that they promised to give your money back if you didn't. The customer could just return 'Excitable Boy' and say, "I didn't like it", and get the full purchase price refunded to them.<br /><br />I didn't return mine.<br /><br />Licorice Pizza was not a HUGE record store chain, but it was probably the third biggest after Wherehouse and Tower.<br /><br />Where in Orange County did you live? I lived in "The O.C." until the Summer of '69. I was in Westminster and then Garden Grove.<br /><br />Of course, when I lived there it wasn't called "The O.C.". It was more likely to be called "The White Trash Capital Of California, South Of Bakersfield". Ha!<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

Gave plenty of insight into Petty's background and how he came to start a music career; how he puts a song together, etc. <br /><br />There are certainly more "important" books out there, but having previously read most of 'em, I figured I was entitled to rest my poor ol' brain a bit with something lite and entertaining.<br /><br /><br /><b>EM-MUSING ~</b><br />Thanks!

Had you not said you were a New Yorker I never would have guessed it based on what you wrote.<br /><br />Have you ever seen the movie 'Hollywood Shuffle'? I'm reminded of that...
