My Home Page is located at www.wtsharpe.com . You can hear some original keyboard and ukulele tunes there. I also have some music up at my Ukeland Player's Page at www.ukeland.com/.
Married since the early 70's, two grown children, two grandkids and more on the way. I’m a humanist and my wife is a Christian. She prays for my soul while I question her grip on reality, but we love each other and I don’t know what I’d do without her.
I didn't list my orientation because there is no option for "straight but not narrow."
I'm in the second half of my 50th decade and have been playing piano since I was three. I never really saw myself playing anything else. Guitars intimidated me, and in the 30 years since I bought an acoustic from the back of a truck for $25.00, I've not learned more than six guitar chords, and I bet I haven't logged more that 24 hours total on the thing. Perhaps it was the particular guitar I bought that turned me off stringed instruments. Its neck was approximately the size of a two-by-four, and it weighed somewhere in the vicinity of a Volkswagen.
Recently my young grandson began pestering me to buy him an electric guitar. I felt he needed something smaller to start learning on, so in August of 2006 I bought him a concert ukulele. I'd never touched a ukulele before and didn't know squat about them, but since the time the uke arrived, I found I couldn't take my hands off it. Because I didn't want to hog the instrument I bought for him, I then purchased one for myself. My blistered fingers and I are happy as they can be. I now own one of Papa Koaloha's Pineapple Sunday s.
I plan to retire in 2010, then devote the majority of my time making music for anyone who wants to listen.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

- Other ukulele players in Tidewater (Virginia). - Jake Shimabukuro and have him take me under his wing and teach me everything he knows about playing the ukulele. - the humanist philosopher Paul Kurtz. And if I knew my way better around the space-time continuum, I'd like to meet: - Martin Luther King, Jr. - Carl Sagan -Thomas Jefferson.
