I got my ticket to attend Uke U (ukulele university) in Bend Oregon. It has been held in mid-July the last 6 years. I have a ukulele playing, Girl Camping friend who is very involved in this event. I finally managed to get a ticket to this 3 day event. It is July 13 thru 17th this year. I am so happy, the event is always a sell out. I have been thinking about purchasing a Tenor Ukulele...I haven't decided yet. Sometimes my finger joints hurt so bad...that I think that my stringed instrument days are about over...however, I am not ready to give up. :)
