Ukulele Blues

My 11-year-old nephew recently purchased a ukulele (or should i say, "an ukulele?"). His name is Luke (interesting that Luke's name is embedded in the name of the instrument). It's a green ukulele, which is also an interesting colour for a ukulele. Oh well, I digress. Luke told the salesperson today when purchasing this unique instrument that I thought it wasn't really an instrument. (I actually own an instrument, but don't play it, preferring my guitar). After having tuned it for him and actually playing the wonderful instrument a few times (even composing a blues tune for my mother), I have decided to change my mind and publicly announce that the ukulele is now, in my mind, a unique instrument. Happy, Luke?
