#ukulele players. we are ubiquitous. and at least some of us are splendid.

I mentioned earlier going to an open mike tonight. what I didn’t mention was in addition to one of my ukuleles I’m also taking a new harmonica. I hope to sit in with someone playing some blues (in the key of G).

despite not playing harmonica a lot lately, I’ve been playing it for nearly 60 years all told.

I can still choogle with the best of them. 

I’m going to the Valhalla open mike tonight. my first chance in over 2 weeks to perform in front of a live audience. it doesn’t make me any money, but it makes me happy (they’re a terrific audience!).

my first chance to make any money is about a month away. the only other source of remuneration is either subscribers or one time donations via my Ko-Fi page.

if you’re able to do either it’d make a *huge* difference to this saggy old ukulele banger. thanks!

the other night my sweetie and I were having a “night out” at a fried chicken joint &, during the meal, she casually mentioned she’d been doing a lot of writing recently. I said, “Really? What kind of writing?” fully expecting more of her famous humorous posts on Farcebook. instead she said, “Well, it started out to be a short story, but I’m up to 10,000 words now.”

color me gobsmacked.

so, @nerdseyeview, can you recommend any online writing apps? or how to find an editor?
