I hope you are well as you read this blog post.
It is my first attempt at a “Throwback Thursday.”
Recently I was inspired — in the middle of a sleepless night — to revisit my very first blog post from June 23, 2013.
It’s all about my love of the humble ukulele.
It had no photos — so I added some.
I also fleshed out some of the text.
And I added info about how to stream a few of my songs (which I only started doing four years ago…)

Hurrah for Throwback Thursday!
Thank you to the wonderful photographers at Pixabay for these glorious images of hydrangeas.
They are a reminder to me that (hopefully) spring and summer will return here in the northern hemisphere.
And thank YOU for reading/skimming another one of my blog posts.
Deep breath in.
Deep breath out.


These are gorgeous flower images Will. Thanks for the fun throwback post. Your original ukulele song is fun. I’m glad it helped you enjoy playing and writing new songs. Please keep on singing and sharing your music.
You are a sweet pea, Brad. I am already looking forward to your next blog post, even if it is simply a rumination on your current, somewhat hibernatory state.
That’s a nice way to say I’ve become a hermit! 😊
Me, too…
A fun reminder of summer with the ukulele and flowers, Will!
Yes, I am definitely looking forward to spring and summer. They are by far my favorite seasons…
THANK YOU for being such a creative and inspiring member of our blog community!
You’re welcome, Will. I think late spring and early fall are my favorites.
I would like early fall more if it weren’t for the shortening day length…
Yes, I agree. I’m such a morning person. By November, I feel like it’s bedtime at 4 or 5 PM.
Nice throwback to a cheerful song, Will. And I love the hydrangea photos!
Thanks for reading and listening, Audrey. The ukulele is a surprisingly powerful tool for lifting people’s spirits (mine very much included…) And I can never get enough hydrangeas!
It was great to visit your throwback and listen to all your songs. I enjoyed it. Thank you.
Thank you for reading and listening!!!
You are welcome
What a delightful throwback post, Will. I was a ukulele player, so I can appreciate how this instrument can make a big difference, easily. I commented on your first blog post. 🙂
Thanks for reading AND listening AND commenting, Jennie!
My pleasure, Will!
It was interesting to read about how your creativity was sparked by the ukulele Will, I hope it still gives you joy to play it.
Absolutely. I need to play it more!!!
