I took my son Will to the Austin Ukulele Society meeting tonight. We learned to play Bruce Springsteen's "Dancin' in the Dark," and we got to hear some great uke players during the "open mic" part of the evening.
Special thanks to Mardi Wareham for bringing two spare ukes for Will and me. I thought it would be better if Will saw me making the same chord shapes, so I borrowed one of Mardi's tenor ukes, but by the end of the evening, my finger hurt so much from playing on the tiny fretboard, that I switched back to my cuatro.
For Will, a trombone player, the whole idea of playing chords is a little strange. Of course, the idea of playing in the treble clef is weird to him, too.
