So on Tuesday I volunteered with the Ukulele Movement to usher for the James Hill concert. It was pretty worth it because we got a free badge! and dinner! and watch the entire concert for freeeeeeee! Anyway I'll skip the boring parts and go straight to the concert. IT WAS AWESOME. James Hill is so skilled at his art! His fingers are so graceful and the notes/sounds coming from the little Ukulele are MINDBLOWING. I loved his rendition of Billie Jean(watch online HERE), 'Song for Cherry'(his own composition) and he played TECHNO on the Ukulele. I know it sounds pretty impossible but he did it(without any pedal or whatever, just a pair of chopsticks and some hockey tape). We also had audience participation(always gets my vote)!! And he signed my badge hehehehe :>
Today he had a workshop! I learnt quite a bit and am very motivated to practice and improve on my Ukulele skills now! PLUS, I GOT HIM TO SIGN MY UKULELE hehe (above)(Yes, my ukulele is screen-printed to look like a watermelon)(I think I look v cool and ~mysterious~ in the picture hahahaha)
Okay that's all.
