SOME UKULELE QUOTES
To this day, if I ever meet grownups who play ukulele, I love 'em. Paul McCartney
The ukulele is the instrument of peace. Jake Shimabukuro
I wasn't popular in school, I was Mexican, I was all these inappropriate things. I started playing the ukulele and taking it to school, and I realized people liked listening to it. I would play it to comfort myself at home, and I'd play rhythm and blues songs that had four chords. That's how it started. Joan Baez
