Back in the Shack & Better: Electric Tin-Can Ukulele
I traded this uke a while back and it was recently traded back. It used to have a Barcus Berry pickup glued to the underside of the top, but I just replaced that with an electric guitar-style humbucker which now senses the vibrations in the metal top. This makes it the only nylon/fluoro-strung electric ukulele that I know of that uses a magnetic pickup instead of a piezo one.

Music: Jake & Forrest Teaser
Forrest and I were doing a little recording while adjusting our live mix and here are a few that got snagged in the spiderweb for fun. It's what we sound like out live these days. We've got album schemes in the near-future, so stay tuned on that front...

Local Flavor: Lupine Season
Dang, right? Summer is here. I snagged this shot of Bonnie's sultry lupines after returning from river-swimming with the kids after work. Note the soaking sandals lining the front of our porch to dry in tomorrow's lazy sun.
The wind was sweet today in that almost-melancholy, nostalgic way that has you leaping 10 or 20 years reverse in your mind. Or more? I was thinking about Disneyland in the '80s at one point. The Swiss Family Robinson house has been long-since converted into Tarzan's residence. Oh well.
