Very pretty!

They misspelled Ennio's name. Not the first time I've seen it spelled that way.

Perhaps that is the English translation!

Hello folks!

Ukulele could be rhyming slang for Hayley! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

If you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like a'you
If you like to linger where it's shady
Ukulele Lady linger too

My dad uses to sing that - although he played the banjo so a bit of a stretch of the imagination

Wow, this is pretty cool. The ukulele is making a big comeback in the States thanks to singer Eddie Vedder's extraordinary command of it. Before that we had gag singer Tiny Tim with his warbling falsetto and trusty ukulele rendition of "Tip-toe Through the Tulips". I'm glad Hayley is getting behind this cute little instrument.
