Very nice. I saw this posted on Boing Boing and enjoyed it. You have a pretty voice.

And I loved your choice of songs.

Hi Shelley,

I found you through Boing Boing. Your uke is so sweet - as are you. You can come and play with my ukulele anytime!
Happy days.
Colin (in Australia!)

Gosh, Thanks Colin!

Thank you James! And yes, 'Tonight You Belong To Me' is a beauty isn't it?!

Hi Shelley! As a ukulele player and the editor-in-chief of MAKE, I am an instant fan of yours (I also blogged about you on my blog, Boing Boing).

Would you like to write a how to article for make on how to make a cigar box ukulele like the one you made in this video? Please email me!

Kind regards,

Everything those guys said. I'm your new fan in Atlanta. In fact, I think I'll put you on my blogspot as well, unless you object. Your voice is wonderful (and I say that as a professional), do you have CDs?

Hi Mark,
I love Make Mag...I'll send a mail!
