the ukulele

There are those who play guitar and there are those who don't. And they just might play the Ukulele (not that there's anything wrong with it). Here are some fun facts about the Uke:

- Yes, it's Hawaiian
- It's been around a long, long time; all the way back to the 1800s
- It's based on a Portuguese instrument called the Machete
- It was the instrument used on "Tiptoe Through the Tulips"
       (the seminal recording by Tiny Tim)
- There are seven different sized Ukuleles, including the
       "Pocket", "Soprano", "Concert", "Tenor", "Baritone", "Bass" and "Contrabass"
- It keeps making comebacks; the 90s featured the Hawaiian musician 
       Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, who recorded "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and                 "What a Wonderful World"
The name "Ukulele" translates to "jumping flea"
