Ukulele Guy

Once again, I'm posting a news item that isn't 100% ukulele-related, but I can almost guarantee that there will be a ukulele track on this record.  I can say this with confidence because Brett McKenzie, from Flight of the Conchords, is co-founder of the Wellington Ukulele Orchestra in New Zealand.  The new record is called "I Told You I was Freaky" and it's coming out on October 20th.  However you can already pre-order it on Amazon.  Woo hoo!  Now I can get my dance moves ready for "Sugar Lumps".

Oh to live in New Zealand!  The beautiful countryside, the fat American LOTR fans that surely litter the aforementioned landscape these days, Flight of the Conchords and the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra.  Yup, and to put syrup on the whole deal, Bret McKenzie, from Flight of the Conchords, performs in the orchestra and co-founded it.  Listen to this,

"Classic songs by Prince, Johnny Cash, Kings of Leon and others will be heard when the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra rocks the Lake Wanaka Centre on Sunday and Monday nights." -- Otago Daily Times

I think I would literally kill for this.  Well, I guess I'll settle for the next best thing.  Playing "Leggy Blonde" on my ukulele and crying myself to sleep.
