NPR : Ukulele Madness -- You Heard It Here First!

Piece on NPR's All Things Considered today about this "new" uke trend. (We all smile knowingly, present a hand in token of friendship and welcome them all to the party...)

"Trend-spotters make big consultant bucks looking for the next big thing. But commentator Louise Rafkin thinks she's spotted a new trend -- and she's going to tell us about it -- for free. A couple of months ago, Rafkin started hearing about the ukulele everywhere, it seems. A friend was taking lessons on the instrument, and there was a festival in Michigan. So Rafkin decided to visit a ukulele club to see what the buzz was all about."
