Ando Anderson: My mother bought a ukulele on a family trip to Atlanta. The 7-hour drive
was pretty stressful as three unruly bored brothers turned the backseat into a war zone. In addition to our battles this trip, we each learned to play “Five Foot Two” on the uke. My first experience with a stringed instrument! Of course, we performed for Grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. That was over 50 years ago. Since then I've played guitar, upright bass, and uke in assorted bands and groups, mostly in Mississippi and Maine. Currently I live in Northport, Maine, where I teach preschool music and a comfortable schedule of private students.
Plus, I lead adult ukulele classes, ukulele groups, and organize ukulele picnics. As a music teacher I’ve been thrilled to see the ukulele’s growing popularity. Lots of beginning players, young and old, are experiencing the joys and challenges of playing this happy fun instrument. I’ve written this book to encourage anyone and everyone to try out the ukulele! Who knows? You may be the next YouTube sensation.
