From time to time ukuleles appear in the news, e.g., “A Working Life: Ukulele Teacher” (The Guardian), “Beginners Warm to Free Ukulele Lessons” (Honolulu Star Advertiser), “The Uke Will Set You Free” (San Francisco Chronicle), “‘The Mighty Uke’: A Musical Underdog Makes A Comeback” (NPR), and “Ukulele Sends UK Crazy” (BBC).
