lately, and this is very random, I have had dreams, not of gumdrops or whatever the kids dream of in the story Twas the Night Before Christmas, but rather of ukuleles ... or ukes.
I really want one. in fact have asked Santa for one this year. songs like somewhere over the rainbow (Hawaiian version), I'm yours (jason marz), amongst others are some of my favorites and ukes are a key instrument in those songs.
I cant really express what the music of a uke does for my soul ... literally. it makes a part of my soul come to life, that nothing else can ... i feel like ukes stir up, in my soul, some unanswered longing for heaven, that no other sensation of experience does or has for me
I think, in heaven, ukuleles will be played just as much or more than harps ... no offense my harp-loving brethren!
so, I say keep the dreams coming, cause they are fun and sometimes funny, and keep me longing
i love this post. totally can relate. something blesses my heart every time i hear, not a uke, but a mandolin. i have one and sometimes i cry bc i cant play like the real people. ive tried and tried to play 'im yours.' (even though thats not a mandolin.) and i do love israel kama.....whatever.
