Just a friendly reminder, today is the LAST day to enter the contest for the FREE Kala Ukulele Giveaway. We’ll be holding the drawing tomorrow. We’ll probably broadcast it live, just trying to figure out what time Aldrine can be part of it. If you haven’t already signed up for a chance to win that ukulele, what are you waiting for? Times a tickin!

Official Contest Entry Thread

*** Update - All entries have been collected. We’ll be broadcasting the live drawing here tonight, March 1st 2008 @ 7:30P.M. HST (9:30pm PST). We will draw 3 names from the hat. The first name pulled will be the winner of the ukulele. The winner will have 48 hours to contact us to receive their prize. If they fail to do so, the opportunity to get in touch with us will go to the next person drawn and they will have 24 hours to contact us.

We will fill in the details tonight on the live stream. Thank you to everyone who participated and best of luck to you all!

There were so many good videos from our members this week that it was hard to choose just one. In the end, originality won out and we (i.e. Rayan) decided to feature member edmundwhitehead’s original composition ‘One of a Kind’ . If this kid keeps it up, he has a very bright future in ukulele.

Thank you to everyone who submitted videos. Keep it up, we love seeing uke players from all over the world!

In this episode of Uke Minutes, Aldrine teaches a simple way to enhance your strum called the 4-finger roll. If you decide to try this technique out in a song, be sure to post it in our forums.

We noticed that we get the most traffic on the weekends. Makes sense, everybody is off school and work, so we’ve decided to move Ukulele Underground Video releases to Saturdays instead of Mondays. This change will start this Saturday with the release of March’s Ukulele Lesson.

Also, thank you to everyone who pre-ordered Ukulele Underground T-shirts! We’ll be putting the order in to our t-shirt printer sometime this week.

*edit* - PRE-ORDERS ARE NOW CLOSED Thank you to everyone who ordered a t-shirt! We will let you know the progress of the shirts as we get them ordered.
