Profile GeneratorONE YEAR AGO JERRY DIMMER, FRONTMAN OF DIM DIM BOUGHT A UKULELE. HE FELL IN LOVE WITH IT AND DECIDED TO RECORD A COMPLETE UKULELE CD. THEN HE HAD BRILLIANT IDEA : HE INVITED ARTISTS ON MY SPACE TO DO SOME VOCALS ON THE INSTRUMENTAL UKULELE TUNES. SOME DIDN'T REPLY, OTHERS ACCEPTED ENTHUSIASTICALLY, AND GAVE NO SIGN OF LIFE AFTERWARDS, AND OTHERS MAILED THEIR GREAT VOCAL TUNES. SO, WHAT WAS MENT TO BE AN INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM, TURNED OUT TO BE A COLOURFUL AND ENCHANTING COLLECTION OF TUNES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD : UKULELE POP !!!
WELL,I THOUGHT (SOMETIMES I "THINK",INDEED)THE OTHER DAY:HOW ABOUT HAVING A UKULELE ? SO I TOOK A LOOK ON E-BAY AND DISCOVERED THIS ENCHANTING WHITE,COVERED WITH EXOTIC FRUIT,UKULELE(SEE PICT) AT A VERY FRIENDLY PRICE (IN FACT,THE MAIL DELIVERY WAS AS EXPENSIVE AS THE UK ITSELF-BUT I WASN'T GOING SOMEWHERE DEEP DOWN HOLLAND AND LOOSE MY WAY-OR EVEN WORSE, HAVING A DEADLY CAR CRASH- JUST TO PICK UP A LITTLE UKULELE AND SAVE A COUPLE OF EUROS,NO?)THE NEXT DAY A GUY RANG AT MY DOOR TO DELIVER ME A PACK,TOO BIG TO GO IN MY MAILBOX.
TOGETHER WITH THE UKULELE THERE WAS A DVD WHERE A NICE AND VERY SELF CONFIDENT AMERICAN FELLAR(WHO LOOKED MORE LIKE PLAYING IN A HEAVY METAL BAND THAN UKULELE) SHOWED THE BASIC UKULELE CHORDS,AND ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER YOUR WERE ABLE TO PLAY YOUR FIRST SONG ALONG WITH HIM.("WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING HOME,UUAAAAAAARG!!!)HOPLA !!!PLAYING UKELELE IS A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE,NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT'S VERY EASY(EVEN A DYSLEXIC OURANG OUTAN WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE A ONE HOUR CONCERT,A AFTER 5 MINUTES OF TRAINING),BUT IT HAS ALSO DIFFERENT CHORDS THEN THE GUITAR ,WHICH OPENS A BRAND NEW MELODIC PERSPECTIVE!IT'S NOT ONLY A VERY SEXY INSTRUMENT,BUT ALSO VERY EASY TO TUNE (YOU NEVER REALLY MANAGE TO TUNE IT EXACTLY,IN FACT-BUT DON'T WORRY!)
IT'S WEIGHT IS VERY LIGHT,SO VERY EASY TO CARRY ALONG FRIENDS PLACES AND START PLAYING A SONG, AS SOON A BORING CONVERSATION 'BOUT POLITICS OR RACISM BEGINS.BELIEVE ME OR NOT,EVEN MY GIRLFRIEND GIVES ME A LARGE AND WARM SMILE WHEN I'M WAKING HER UP AT FIVE IN THE MORNING WHILE PLAYING HER A NEW TUNE (NOW TALKING 'BOUT MY GIRLFRIEND,IT OCCURS TO ME THAT I DIDN'T SEE HER AROUND FOR NEARLY A MONTH!)INSTEAD OF KICKING MY DOG WITH MY FEET WHEN HE'S BEGGING FOR AFFECTION OR FOOD,I JUST HAVE TO REACH MY ARM TOWARDS THE UKULELE,AND HE'S POPPING THROUGH THE WINDOW (UNFORTUNATELY I'M LIVING IN A GROUND FLOOR)THIS ALL TO SHOW YOU,DEAR MUSIC LOVING FRIENDS,THAT IF I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT(THAT OTHER DAY) 'BOUT SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (LIKE BUYING ONE KILO OFF DEEP FROZEN CODFISH OR A PAIR OF NEW SANDALS) THE CONTEMPT OF THIS MY SPACE WOULD BE VERY DIFFERENT!!!YUMMY***
