a uka-uka-ukulele

The program said 3:30, Denis thought it must be 3 but then changed his mind to 4:30 with a check of his Blackberry. Not wanting to miss The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, I took at seat at in front of the stage at 3 and listened to a local jazz group playing in the meantime. It was 4:15 before the jazz group started to tear down their things and the Brit's began to set-up.

In the dry British style, the orchestra played a rendition of Shaft that had us rolling. They did some disco, a little classical, "folk?" and a couple of medleys... and all on and only on ukuleles. It was amazing. Fabulous. We loved it! You can check them out on youtube.com. Try searching for their "teen spirit" bit.
