Aloha travellers, today is the first episode of season two. I thought long and hard about how , what, when and why I'd publish in this season and then there were so many great opportunities I threw my hands up into the air and said 'Let's start talking to our international Uketastic neighbours'.

Today we are travelling to Eugene, Oregon. There we find a lovely lady who is a bit of a kindred spirit. For her, the thrill of playing with other people AND organising events fills her cup to over flowing. Melody chats about her motivation, love of people, different festivals and her BIG ukulele dream that involves The Beatles.

Join me now as we find Melody sitting on her porch, brightly dressed and sporting a very fine ukulele on her lap. Thanks for listening folks.
