Hi Steve and All, Especially Bill
 
Regarding the uke and didgeridoo.  The last job I had I walked down a  hall 
to the interview room carrying an 1 1/2 inch, five foot long  bright orange 
PVC pipe which I had just asked a construction worker for on my  way to the 
interview.  (He handed it to me, regarding me very warily, and  asked if 
there was anything else I needed.  LOL)  When I walked  in the room the two 
interviewers wanted to know why I had the pipe.  I told  them it was a free 
didgeridoo and blew a couple tones for them.  They were  falling out laughing 
before the job ever started and I got the position as  acting president for 
a college of nursing.  (They wanted someone who could  create change.)  Six 
months later they took the acting off the title.   So, who says you can't 
blow your own horn?

Dear  Bill:

Be careful what you Robber Dogs play. Stay away from "Kookaburra  Sits  
In the Old Gum Tree." Even though it sounds as if it would make  a  
great 2 chord OKOM song. Especially for young  audiences.

Ginny, for  the Ukulele version, go to: (be sure to watch the one man  
band at  the end Uke + Drum + didgeridoo)  <grin>
