Thanks Monica, I'm already having a lot of fun teasing out a good interpretation for Ukelele for all the songs they want to incorporate into the service.

It's also, frankly, a bit terrifying. I've never done anything like this before. Sing in front of people? yes. Scary, but I've done that before. Play an instrument in front of people? Done that too w/ my cello. DECADES ago. But even then I always got really nervous when I had to perform solo, but still, I've done it before.

But I've only been playing at Ukelele for a few months, and I'm still getting the hang of the whole sing and play at the same time thing. Glad I have a solid 6 months to work into it! Hope all is well w/ you. Nice to see one of my LJ friends is still hanging around once in a while. :-)
