Ok, you may find this hard to believe but I actually had my first paying gig as a full time ukulele player last Saturday.

I know what you must be thinking, what the hell?

Your trusting me to teach you ukulele and you may have already done more paying ukulele gigs than I have.

I'm stocked myself, but when I really got to think about it, it's true.

Many of you know that I have spent my musical career as a educator, studio musician, and composer.

Even though I began playing ukulele back in the 90's, yikes, it has only been the last 2 1/2 years that I got completely dedicated to ukulele. 

Then life happened which included twins, a up-rooting from Los Angeles after 20 years to move back to San Diego, a focus on my family and the Uke Like The Pros website.

I didn't really have the mindset to do a lot of gigs, I had responsibilities as a father and husband to be home and not be out late working.

So I essentially didn't take or look for a lot of gigs. 

Now don't get me wrong,...
