Dave, just saw the tail end of a show on CNBC called "The Billionaire Next Door: All Access" about Warren Buffet and the Bershire Hathaway shareholders meeting. Didn't get to see him play uke, but I do believe he did. I heard him singing "Has anybody seen my gal" at one point but was out of the room. Any west-coasters interested may want to check your local listings and see if you can catch it.
In fact, just saw him play on The Big Idea With Donny Deutsch at the very beginning.

| i is about the most 'themed' of any themed uke out there, due to the recognizability of the DQ cone top. what would be the next most identifiable theme logo? hmmm.......

Superb Dave; you are up there in uke world and you do a great job of design and luthery as Mr B says(not you Charlie - altho Charlie knows his stuff).
You can take Mr B;s words to the bank.

Ah Dave, you melt my heart. What a tasty treat you have given Mr. Buffet out there in Big Red country with your DQ special cone, and with music that sticks to the bone. Yo da man!

Maybe he prefers Talsma instruments. I know I do...

He also gave away the majority of it to the Gates Foundation

Very cool, Dave!
What about the guy in the "Margaritaville" shirt?? I think he was expecting a different Buffet!
