I made it home from Australia (and so did my luggage, uke included). The blog will return to its normal schedule as we resume the Weekly Interval on Saturdays and the 3 Questions interview on Mondays.

I’ll also be posting some video interviews from my trip featuring Yan Yalego from France, Gensblue from Japan and Azo Bell from Australia.

I’ll be teaching two workshops at the 2nd Annual Tahoe Area Ukulele Festival in Sparks (Reno), Nevada, March 19-21. This is going to be a great festival featuring both Jake Shimabukuro and James Hill.

I’m also in the process of booking Play Ukulele By Ear workshops in various locales in the United States. If you or your ukulele club are interested in a workshop in your area please contact me at dville@teleport.com.

And finally, thanks to all the new friends I met during my month in Australia. I’m already planning my next trip down under!
