COMPETITION! - WIN A VOLCAPO UKULELE CAPO

UKULELE COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED - KEEP CHECKING THIS SITE FOR MORE COMPETITIONS SOON!


Hi folks, as promised in my review of the Volcapo ukulele capo, I promised that I would run a free to enter competition in which you can win one.


I have the Soprano/Concert version of the Volcapo up for grabs.  It's a neat little device that has only just been released and I think it suits the uke very well.  These are handmade in California.

  3. SUNDAY CLOTHES


    A little boy was walking down a dirt road after church one Sunday afternoon when he came to a crossroads where he met a little girl coming from the other direction.



    'Hello,' said the little boy

    'Hi,' replied the little girl.


    'Where are you going?' asked the little boy.


    'I've been to church this morning and I'm on my way home,'
    Answered the little girl.

    'I'm also on my way home from church.
    Which church do you go to?' asked the little boy.


    'I go to the Baptist church back down the road,' replied the little girl.
    'What about you? '




    'I go to the Methodist church back at the top of the hill,'
    Replied the little boy.



    They discover that they are both going the same way
    So they decided that they'd walk together.



    They came to a low spot in the road where spring rains had partially flooded the road, so there was no way that they could get across to the other side without getting wet.



    'If I get my new Sunday dress wet, my Mom's going to skin me alive,' said the little girl.



    'My Mom'll tan my hide, too, if I get my new Sunday suit wet,'
    Replied the little boy.



    'I tell you what I think I'll do,' said the little girl. 'I'm gonna pull
    Off all my clothes and hold them over my head and wade across.'



    'That's a good idea,'replied the little boy.
    'I'm going to do the same thing with my suit.'






    So they both undressed and waded across to the other side without getting their clothes wet. They were standing there in the sun waiting to drip dry before putting their clothes back on, when the little boy finally remarked:







    'You know, I never realized before just how much difference there really is between a
    BAPTIST and a METHODIST!!!

  16. Found this gem on uu:

    A ukulele player suddenly realizes he left his vintage ukulele out in his car over night. He rushes outside and his heart drops when he sees that his car window is broken. Fearing the worst, he peeks through the window and finds that there are now five ukuleles in his car.

  18. Great contest - here's my entry, actually it's not a joke, but a real story, but nevertheless funny, I think:

    I've got a little nephew (5years old) and when he first visited me, after I got my uke, he stood in front of it, staring at it several minutes and you could see that there was hard work going on in his little brain...
    Then he turned around, facing me, and was (totally embarrassed)asking me: "Did you wash that guitar too hot ??? - Has it shrunken ???"

    Hope, you enjoyed my little story...

  19. A woman walks down the street at a Big International Ukulele Festival with a beautiful ukulele tucked under her arm. It is a great festival with stellar performers, unbelievable workshops, fabulous jamming, warm and friendly people (well they are ukesters, right!) and some terrific vendors and ukulele makers.
    A second woman goes up to the first woman and says “my word, that’s a super ukulele you have there, what wonderful gleaming koa wood, what gorgeous abalone binding.”
    The first woman glows with pride, knowing she has done the right thing, yes,” she says, “I got it for my husband.”
    “Well done,” says the second woman, “you got a really good trade there.”
