Here's to ukeleles! As you might know, JPL plays the uke, so this might be of some interest to JPL fans. Maybe to JPL too.... hi Jon!
This is from Metafilter, to which I can't link here (but it's easy enough to find):

May 31, 2005 Brudda Bu's Ukulele Heaven has excellent info on ukulele creation and history. If you want to play, you can learn all of your chords at Ukulele Strummers. If you are looking for some easy songs, try Ukulele Boogaloo for an eclectic songbook with tablature right on the page. Ukulele Beatles Fun provides strum-along Beatles tunes in a flash app. Finally, for the more advanced, Dominator provides beautiful transcriptions of songs (scroll down) by artists like Herb Ohta and Jake Shimabukuro. posted by Roger Dodger

No ukelele post would be completely complete without a link to my fave proponents of said underappreciated instrument, Petty Booka.
Still . . . muchas gracias, señor Dodger. posted by ToasT on May 31
Normally I wouldn't repost entire MeFi contributions like this, but this one's too nice to refabricate.
