My ghetto cigar box - demo

My daughter broke her Mahalo so after a trip to the tobacco shop and 25 minutes in the garage, I have a ghetto cigar box uke.

I wrote a quick 'song' to baptize the uke.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­-----------
well it's another day
and the hurt is still here
well it's another day
and it's crystal clear
that this hurt is going to stay around longer than you ever did

it's snowing outside
but i won't close the windows
it's a blanket of ice
but i wear my summertime clothes
cause the hate I have for you keeps me warm even when it's 2 degrees outside

Love the song, too. I've had that feeling too, kept me warm during a New England snowstorm. I felt better when the hate finally dispersed though, but thankfully I didn't need it for thermal assistance anymore, 'cause spring had come around!

Thank you.  I sometimes think the hate within me causes global warming.

That is so amazing! I love the unique ukuleles made out of something else. I've looked at them online a few times--out of boxes and books and a slew of other things. They're so impressive. I am loving yours! Some day I'll go and get me a Frankenstein Ukulele (made out of bits and pieces :D) 'cause goodness knows I'd never be able to make them for myself. But I sure can admire them!

Give it a try. It's not as difficult as it seems once you get started.

Wicked uke and song! "Cause the hate I have for you keeps me warm even when it's two degrees outside"- PMSL! :-) x

That should probably be part of your process for all of these

Oh, and don't tell my daughter.
