[Dixielandjazz] Ukulele

[David W. Littlefield]

Not a whole drum set: snare and 6" or 8" splash cymbal(s). Or washboardist
with a splash on his 'board who also plays snare or "LapTop" snare.

I would think of the uke as a *changeup* from banjo or guitar. For the
basic sound, I'd want more depth at strings.
