Ask your 'Fathering law' to buy you a Dictionary instead.

You really need to turn off the Apple Hipster - Dyslexia Mode on that thing.

I went to see the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain!

The best starter's ukulele is the Makala Dolphin. They come in a range of really nice finishes and play surprisingly well for their low price. Very fun and even look quite nice on a shelf.

I have the deep blue Dolphin and have just learned The Gael (Last of the Mohicans theme music).

Cool, fun instrument to play. You could do worse than change the strings to Aquila ones when it arrives, will sound better.

You Tube for ukulele mike as he has many lessons using simple chords and strumming. A good thing to learn is the 'chuck' - hitting the strings rhythmically to get a percussive thump.

..then go to Hawaii!
