[SalPedi]

What a GREAT lady!... I really think that by her playing the uke and having so much fun, that it certainly adds to ones longevity!...So, keep strumming dear lady!....

AND, I almost forgot.....did you notice that at no time did she look at her hands while playing!... this sweet woman has the makings of a real PRO!....
