Here's songwriter Vic Chesnutt's quote
about his musical beginnings on the
uke; "I got a ukulele first, when I was
about 14 and my aunt who was about
90 years old at the time gave me a
ukulele book. It was a left over book
from when ukuleles were the "shit" in
1920. It had all those pop songs from
the late 1900s. So I learnt all these
songs and then I wrote a few of my
own. But I've been writing songs ever
since I can remember.
One of his CDs shows him as a boy,
holding a small plastic uke, but i don't
know which one.

| OK all you uke players, how many of
you are would be song writers?
Come on now, fess up. It would be
interesting to know how many of our
brothers and sisters have tried
their hand an composing. I will be
the first to confess. I have been
writing stuff for years. I find
myself more suited to writing
lyrics than music. I just finished
another epic song. The inspiration
came from "Pete" on this board
awhile back. He chalenged the BB
members to write a song about that
oft requested number,"Play
something that we know." Now I
have something to offer when
requested to "Play something that
we know". Perhaps we might share
some of our stuff. Thoughts?
