This week on Uke Spotlight we feature our second installment with “Cool Hand Uke” Mr. Dan Scanlan. Dan has been playing ukulele for over half a century and his knowledge of the origins, history and repertoire of the ukulele are unmatched. I was fortunate enough recently to spend some time with Dan at his home in Grass Valley, California and take a fascinating journey into the soul of the ukulele. This week we delve into the wonders of the Trill.
