Hi! I have been playing the ukulele for about 4 years. I am looking forward to getting to know y’all virtually! Actually sitting here waiting for Fed Ex to deliver my newest concert uke! It’s supposed to be delivered by 8:00 tonight.

My new concert is a Kanilea KPA.
There is a little story there. Two years ago, I was in Denver and had been looking for a Kamaka soprano pineapple, and they had it. They also had a Kanilea concert k12. I played it for a few minutes and was absolutely smitten! But, I decided to stick with the soprano pineapple, since I didn’t have a soprano. I have wanted that concert since then! I decided last week to sell my other concerts (2) and a tenor(1) and get the one I loved! It was a quick decision but I am so excited!

Hmm...
Shar-lette, Shar-lot, or Car-lot? I need to know!

How exciting! The one that got away… I will have to try playing one some time. I’m from Colorado so I get back to Denver often.

Denver Folklore is the name of the shop. They have such a history , open since the early 60’s. They mostly sell mandolins, guitars and ukuleles.

That's how it's pronounced in Vermont, also.

Welcome, vtjernigan. You are among friends.
Always good to hear from another New Englander in the Undeground. I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time in the Northeast Kingdom.

Thank you! I am already in love!

That's something I did not know. I thought we were the only ones that put the accent on the second syllable. Hey, maybe Michigan and Vermont are normal and NC is weird.
