Gus and Fin are making it pretty damn inevitable that I’m going to buy a new ukulele – breaking my “no new musical instruments” moratorium.
It’s a joy to see and hear them perform “Are Friends Electric” by Tubeway Army. But you can’t watch it here. You have to go watch it on their YouTube channel.
It All Started With a Uke
The oft-told tale of my musical beginnings is that my Grandma Blinco gave me a ukulele for Christmas when I was four or five. I pretty much ignored it for the next ten years, until Punk discovered me. The uke was the nearest instrument. I picked it up and I started trying to write and play songs.
