There's something about the ukulele that just makes you smile. It makes you let your guard down. It brings out the child in all of us.

There's no ego when you're a ukulele player.

The ukulele has always appealed to the older generation.

When you play guitar and strum, you're using biceps and triceps to move up and down. I realized you could just turn your wrist, your forearm, using smaller muscles in your arm that are much more efficient and much quicker.

If everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place.

I love the fact that people don't see the ukulele as a serious instrument. A lot of people see it as more of a toy, and I love that because it just proves that people aren't intimidated by the instrument. They aren't afraid to pick it up.
