Looks a lot like a Ukelin, we inherited one from my father in law.

We have a winner!!!! That's exactly what it is, and it's also called a Violin-Uke. It's a wooley booger to play, and a whole lot harder to tune! I took it to 7 music stores before someone dared take it on, and he does a super job! He tried to teach me to tune the darn thing, but I just had too hard a time with it. There's a story behind this one, and it means the world to me!

sunflour gets the prize.

What's the prize, Blooie?

 

[Blooie]

Um, eggs? I'll gift 'em in case I win any more!

Welcome to my world, Phil.

Reckon you can understand how I nearly got shot by a kid with a .22 who was less than 100 yards from me?

I guess every family has its demons; addiction is one of the most far-reaching. They say that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger, but man, the scars aren't always easy to live with either, are they?

No.... No they aren't...

I sent you a PM.
 all around.

I know. Sorry I was gone offline all day.... But I finally Sweden it...

Hey, hey, hey now, you 'n' me may hafta be frowin' down inna skreet if you gonna go dissin' the Tarheel State. At least it's South, real South, not like some overgrowed, alligator infested mix of sand and swamp where old Yankees go to die.

Who you calling old?

And what exactly is the problem with 'old Yankees'? 

Yeah what he said.... I'm probably the most Yankee of all of you.... What's s Yankee anyway?..

I love old Yankees... in Yankee land.

Where is that?.... Again I don't know....

Only in that it is as addictive as some of the others.  Nobody here has gotten into trouble yet.  I have been serving as a role model for some of the more easily led.

Yeah Sour is Mayor

Okay I got to ask.... I never heard of this should Yankees thing and southerners hating us.... Until I went into the Air Force and spent time with some of you all....
...I hope it's all in fun cuz if there really is hattered like it seemed to me..... When I was in the south... I really don't want anything to do with it.....
