Ukulele with a pencil

Written last night:

Dear Friends,

As you know, I’ve fallen in love with ukuleles — even more than before (Clark played the uke) --  thanks to Meredith, who asked me to draw one for her. At first I was nervous because I didn’t know exactly what she had in mind, and also because I didn't even know how many strings a ukulele has (4). I spent about a week just looking at ukuleles and talking to people who play them. I made measured drawings, as if I were going to build one. Finally loosened up, I made my own ukulele song. I like what I came up with, and so does Meredith.

Love,

k
