I bought a ukulele for myself for Christmas but neglected it as i was trying to learn the mandolin at the time, but then i saw an episode of Scrubs with the Israel Kamikawiwo'ole version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow / It's a Wonderful World and thought - i could learn to play that! so i found a tutorial on youtube and hand copied the lyrics and chords out in my little notebook and spent 12 hours on a sick day learning to play it on my Mahalo ULP1/CS Cherry Sunburst. Then I saw the Kala KA-SC for sale, and she was the vintage style ukulele i had originaly wanted, so now I have two ukuleles - Johnny and Baby - and i've been playing for 3 weeks now!
