I Have a Ukulele Crush

Last night I watched a sweet tribute to John Prine on YouTube. One of the featured covers was Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick's “In Spite Of Ourselves” with Bacon playing a mandolin and Sedgwick on ukulele. My first thought was "That is so damn cute." The second was "I wonder if I could do that."

My heart goes out to @john_prine and his family at this difficult time. John's music has touched @Kikkosedg and I so much....We've spent the past two weeks learning his songs while social distancing and staying home. This is take 37 we recorded a week ago of one of our favorite songs of his. His songs have brought us so much laughter, joy, love, and even brought us closer together during this tough time. Let's all send good wishes and strength to him when he needs it most.

Today I was smitten by a ukulele again. Is this Fender Fullerton Jazzmaster Ukulele cool or what? (Via)

Should I take it as a sign that playing the ukulele is my true calling? Would Mr. Nag be willing to join me on mandolin? When will that Fender uke be back in stock? So much to ponder this morning…
