The ukelele is a “mini-me” of the acoustic guitar. It originated in Hawaii and in almost every Hawaiian themed music you can hear the sounds of the ukelele. I will never forget watching The Don Ho show hearing him sing the song “Tiny Bubbles” strumming along on his ukelele. Tiny Tim was a big man with long hair and a high pitched voice that played the ukelele on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, that was very entertaining. The ukelele is a real fun and easy instrument to play, you can even learn how to play it on the internet. I like to take my ukelele with me when I go to Hawaii. I pretend that I am Don Ho as I walk on the shores of the Hawaiian Islands.
