I always feel I should wear a racoon coat when I play a ukelele, Brad ;^)

The trouble with that instrument is that (I think) it only has four strings which makes it an unsatisfactory practice instrument, although I broke a G-string on Sunday and wassn't near a music store on Monday, so I have been playing a five-string guitar for the last two days.

I have put the Ovation on my list of guitars to look at.
