Here’s a change of pace for those of you interested in Hawaii.

One of the regulars we see on our early morning walks is Mike Chock, a retired builder who founded the Ukulele Guild of Hawaii back in 2001 and now, among other things, teaches others how to build ukulele.

Before COVID-19 changed our behaviors, Mike and friends were getting together every Thursday at his workshop and broadcasting their musical sessions live on Facebook. More recently, he’s been sharing short videos showing different ukulele, explaining their construction and features, and of course their sounds.

You can scroll through Mike’s Facebook page for some of these, or check the Vimeo channel of Kimo Hussey, the current executive director of the Ukulele Guild.

Here’s one featuring Hussey and Chock, one on one. If you find it interesting, there’s plenty more where it came from.
