Hello to all
I'll be taking part in two of the three FODfest shows this coming weekend - playing in the "back up band" and hopefully helping to make everyone sound their best. Not quite sure what instrument (s) I'll be playing as it will mostly be determined by what everyone else is playing. Probably a lot of Tahitian ukulele is last year is any indicator.
Anyway, if you're in the area of any of these musical venues, come on and see the show. They're all free and they are all a lot of fun:
Friday, May 28 at the brand new Club Helsinki in Hudson, New York
Saturday, May 29 at the Colonial Theater in Pittsfield, Massachusetts
Sunday, May 30 at the Infinity Hall and Bistro in Norfolk, Connecticut
All shows start at 8:00. There's going to be a "pre-show show" at the Colonial Theater in the lobby. I'm told we'll be having some special guests.
You can catch the artist line up for each show here:

And for those of you not in the area, every show will be streamed live! You can watch at this link:

You'll also be able to chat with people watching from all around the world. At the radio show last night we had listeners from Taiwan!
I'll be at all three shows and would love to say hello to anyone from Guitar Noise. Come on by!
Peace
Hi David,
I was watching some videos. It seems you had nice days. The image quality is not so good. Is it possible you are playing the May 29 video? At least, there is a lefty player playing something like an ukulele.
Hi Nuno
Thanks for watching. I'm told the video wasn't all that great and there were also numerous technical problems, particularly with the Friday show, but yes, that would have been me you saw. The instrument in question is a Tahitian ukulele, which has eight strings instead of four. You can find a close up photo of it in this thread:

Thanks again for making the time to watch!
Peace
Thank you for the answer, David. And also for the link to the Tahitian ukulele. It seems a cool instrument... A couple of weeks ago I was searching ukuleles here... Fortunately it is not easy to find them here. I say "fortunately" because really I don't have many free time for a new instrument.
Concerning the videos. The image quality is "enough" but the audio is pretty clear. There are some really nice tunes there.
Thank you for sharing! :D
