"Pure Opinions"
May for Music
 Ukuleles rule!
But if you don't feel like braving the cold, feel to concerned about what's left of your hearing, or too old to go to a live act, have you considered learning an instrument yourself? Everywhere I go lately there are people who have taken up the ukulele.
Why the ukulele? It's so easy - really - which makes it perfect to sing along with, and singing and playing is such fun. I know, I sound like a convert but go on, give it a whirl and see for yourself. There is bound to be a ukulele group near you giving lessons.
A friend recently went to the South by South West Music Festival in Austin, Texas. She reported back that in every nook and cranny and back alley of Austin, could be found someone playing something. Wouldn't it be great to have that much music here?
Instead of having to tolerate other people's musical tastes at parties and social gatherings, we could be playing the music ourselves. Utopian dreams, I know. But music - especially playing it and singing it - soothes the soul. Let's make music month ours.
