Now I’m watching the d-backs get their butts kicked by the Phillies which piles on the misery for dodgers fans 😒

What a miserable, humiliating and depressing ending for the second year in a row! The Dodgers have been great in the regular season but without starting pitching they didn’t stand a chance. At least I’ll always have the memory of seeing the Kirk Gibson hr in the ’88 World Series.

Dirty Harry to his luthier… “go ahead, make my uke”

I have a “long neck soprano” that I really like a lot. It has that soprano sound with a more comfortable fret board. This one is a solid ‘hog Ohana that was reasonably priced and well set up from Mim. I believe you’d like it.

I haven’t posted too much over the years but I enjoy reading the threads. Hats off to these fine volunteers who will keep this forum engaging and informative. After all, we all love this fun little instrument and there is always something new to learn!

Something dark like Sister Morphine or Black Peter (they’d never ask again). For a child I’d play Going to the Hukilau.

Wait until you hear me play, then recommend gasoline!

My mother took me to the music store (ca. 1960) when I was 11 y.o. and bought me a baritone uke. I think it was meant to be a starter instrument for guitar. Years later I traded it for a guitar (mistake!) and I’ve always wondered what uke it was.

I like to know where people are from yet most members don’t put a location in their account info. I’m from beautiful Altadena California in the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains near the Rose Bowl. Don’t you want to know where people are located? Doug

I recently listed a uke on UU and the potential buyer had just joined UU five hours earlier! Needless to say I was skeptical to say the least. She was in NY and I’m in CA. It turns out her bf is in LA and we met in person for the cash transaction and all went well.

Well, I’ve read all the stories in the LA Times this morning to complete my depression. This series was the sorriest display of non-baseball by the Dodgers… ever. This may be sour grapes but…. Gooo Phillies!

That was a tough loss to say the least… to the padres… how low can you go 😩

This is looking pretty grim. These are the guys that averaged over a 5 runs a game.

I was watching the game on tv…. Very surreal.
