Things that bother you, never bother me...

Today, my grandpa said my hair made me look like Tiny Tim.
If you don't know what he looks like,

Thanks, Grandpa.

And he helped come to that conclusion by deducing that since I have curly, dark hair and play the ukulele... Oh! I must be Tiny Tim!

No.

If you don't know who this saucy fellar is, think again. You may recognize this little tune.



Wait, where is that from? I've heard it before...

Good observation, random viewer. It was in the first episode of Spongebob Squarepants, where he feeds all of the sardines with his super spatula.

Megofna? *

Time to incorporate two of my favorite things into this next blog post. Well, really my three fav. things. Music, YouTube, and ukulele.

I just thought this guy deserved way more recognition.

Now, as I usually am when discovering cool YouTube things, I'm not sure how I got here, but I ended up watching a guy play Hey There Delilah on ukulele.
He's got SUPERSATURATED talent.

Here's the link for the video itself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7bsfRal38Q&feature=related

His name is Shawn Megofna and he sings better than most singers out there.

Here's his channel.
Here's his myspace.

I like him.

SHAKEDOWN

Okay, so today was the last day of school and it just so happens that I went to my first grad party today as well.
He lives in another town, but anyway... His dad and my dad go to this one cover band's concerts all the time. The band's called Shakedown. I have a shirt from them.

Anyway, one of the main guys was there. Frank.
Mark and Frank deep in the groove.
That's him on the right.

My brother got him to sign a playing card just as he walked out of the door. My camera was in the car, so I didn't get a picture with him.


This band mainly does covers, but it's a local band, so I don't expect much. He learned that I play ukulele and he asked me something like "Are you really into music?"

Yes, Frank. I'm pretty into it.

[and YES, I'M WATCHING BONNAROO RIGHT NOW! I missed The Young Veins & She & Him because of my darn previous engagements. :(]
