My partner gave me a ukulele in celebration of eleven years together. He thinks this little red instrument embodies my spirit because even bumping into the strings makes a happy sound. Making music intimidated me, but the ukulele is impossible to resist. I awkwardly strummed out Somewhere Over the Rainbow on my first day. Scott so patiently held notes until I could change chords.
Someday I'll wish upon a starrrrrr (G chord is so awkward. Come on ring finger get up there.) And wake up where the clouds are far...My fingers have callouses now, and we sing even when I don't strum. Mmm, the magic of music.
