One of the many things I am working on at the moment is preparing to teach a ukulele workshop in May. Happily, my friend Katy Rydell is going to be in town and will be assisting me. We played uke together when we both lived in L.A.
The sad news is that the ukulele I built in Hawaii was damaged in the move and will require some repair. Luckily the damage isn't too great, but the repair is going to be a little tricky.

Last night I spent some time playing my ukulele. I was trying out a new song when I became aware of another noise in the room. When I stopped the noise stopped, when I started it started up with me. The next time I stopped it continued on for a few notes. It was a cricket. My playing must have woken him up from a solid winter’s sleep.
He continued accompanying me for a while, until the song changed to another key. Something about the change must have signaled to him that I was not another cricket and he was silent for the rest of the night. I’m going to try it again tonight and see what happens.
(Note: He must have moved out in disappointment that I wasn't another cricket. I never heard from him again.)
