Breaking stereotypes: the ukulele
Amanda Palmer performing "Ukulele Anthem" in about 75 mile an hour winds outside Sydney Opera House.
When I was a kid, if someone mentioned ukulele, pretty much the only thing you thought was of Don Ho singing "Tiny Bubbles," or maybe Don on The Brady Bunch, because that's the only times we ever saw anyone on TV play a ukulele. That's fine, but it's not all that exciting. So here are two women playing ukuleles in completely different ways, and breaking that stereotype that Hawaiian easy listening music is all ukulele's are capable of. Enjoy.
Taimane Gardner popped up on YouTube today as I was watching other stuff, and gave me the idea for this post. We all have preconceived notions about much of the stuff, and the people, around us day to day. But those are just our thoughts, not the reality of what's going on, or what's possible. We don't have to live in a box surrounded by stereotypes of everything. It's up to me, and it's up to you.
