Subject: RE: Play like a pro, without lessons
When I was about 6 maybe, I had one of those suckers. As I recall, the cheap uke was brown with a white top and came from Monkey Wards who also sold the Arthur Godfrey gizmo. Remember Monkey Wards? Great competitor for Sears in the cheap instrument biz. Stared at the catalogue....."Blonde Guitar....$12.99"......I guess it was a real dumb guitar or something.......Damn thing now is probably worth a grand or so. We had a M-W in New Philly so you could buy direct without ordering and Sears was only mail order for us. I amazed the post office would ship anything from either of them....its against the law to mail shit I'm sure.
