Ukuleles & Rock Formations

Ukulele's Rock

Been strumming on the ukulele for a couple years now. I love playing but it's hard to find the time to hone my craft. A while ago, while surfing the net, I signed for a NJ Ukulele Meetup Group. I haven't really thought much about it until recently when I received an invitation to "Ross' house for a Ukulele Meetup". I didn't think I was really going to go, but I clicked yes on the invite. It was last Tuesday night, so when I got home from work I rushed the kids through dinner, homework, jammies & teeth. I grabed my ukulele and ran out the door, still not convinced that I would walk into some strangers house. So I find the house, about 10 minutes from mine, park the car and head up the path. I was relieved to see a sign on the front door that said "Uke Meetup Side Door" assuming an axe murder wouldn't have gone through the trouble of making a sign. So I went in the side door and found a delightful group of people strumming their ukes in unison to "Have You Ever Seen the Rain by John Fogerty. I jumped right in..... can't wait until our next jam session.


Rock Formations

Took a walk on my lunch hour yesterday and stumbled across some very large Rocks at Rock Center.

The sculptures have been created by artist Ugo Rondinone. A clip from the press release explains.. "Human Nature is a stark contrast to its highly developed architectural surroundings in Midtown Manhattan. The irregular natural surfaces of the stone are left bare, while the human figure— perhaps the original artistic subject—is represented as a simple yet imposing composition.."
Also, not sure why, but there is a big oversized Tiffany box covering the ice rink area.
