Thanks J.Humble. I must have played Red Haired Boy thousands of times. I have an interesting story about that tune. I went to a beginner bluegrass jam one time and that was one of the pieces the leaders were teaching. I think it was my first exposure to it, and although I had been learning guitar for a while, I played it miserably – way below what I believe my ability level was. I think a big part of it was being nervous in a new group of people – “outsider” syndrome, if you will. I wasn’t even sure I wanted to ever go to that jam again. I played that song so many times over the next two or four weeks (can’t remember if they met bi-weekly or monthly), and I still was not able to play it a whole lot better the next time I went. That was a piece that I played many times almost every night for months. I still don’t play it as well as I want.
That baritone uke sounds like fun. I have only a soprano uke. Some day maybe I’ll get some other voices – a concert, a tenor and a baritone, not necessarily in that order.
