ukulele beautiful
this is an article i found written by a japanese person on performing and play the ukulele in public. the language is... precious and hilarious.
"If you study the basic chords, you should play for many people. Even if you can play only three chords, it is just enough.
If your family and friends' faces turn bitter, you don't have to worry. If you are a poor player, just back up slowly and fade away.
Preparation
When you begin, nobody will come to hear you play, unless you are Eric Clapton, which would be an exception. The basic style is "Nagashi" which is the style used by the Japanese street musician. This style is good for quick playing.
Ukulele is the miracle music instrument .The ukulele sound won't interrupt the talking of business or the whisper of lovers.
This merit makes it easy to play for many people.
If you softly hold a baby or cat under your arms, usually some people will smile and say "How pretty this baby is! or How cute this cat is!" On the other hand, the ukulele will not make people so excited."
