[Fmpro] CBS Sunday Morning

[James Ryan]

This guy is huge in Hawaii.  I was there this summer, and asked a music
store about who the hot artists were.  This was the name that came up.  He
was touring (I believe) with Bella Fleck at the time.  Totally amazing
player.  

As for Uke coming back, it never left in Hawaii.  In the music stores, you
see Strats, Gibsons, a few basses, and WALLS of every imaginable kind of
uke.  Pretty funny.

James
