"The Ukulele Kid" (Green)

Here is the story behind the tshirt design:

I grew up in Hawaii, the birthplace of the ukulele, and when I was eight my mom bought a cheap one for me on the condition that I’d take lessons for awhile. My friend’s mom had the same idea, so it was arranged for the two of us to take lessons together. One day after school we were scheduled to practice together, but instead, in a characteristic rush of youthful zeal and absentmindedness, I grabbed my friend’s uke and sliced it through the air like a samurai sword. The result was two upset moms, a friend with a bruised butt, and an instrument reducing to splinters and loose strings.

As for my uke, I actually brought it with me to China, where is sits on my desk, more an ornament than anything else. Kids do weird stuff.
