" Please know that #2383 arrived safe and sound this past Friday evening, and it was a pleasure to slowly open the case alongside my new friend Stuart Fuchs. So today I led another of my Ukulele Camps - this week at the Ocean Avenue Elementary School in Portland, Maine - and proudly showed off my new Mya-Moe. They were almost as overjoyed as I was. I think my expression says it all - “Can you believe I actually own this?!”"
