A sort of dream
I would like to perform somewhere as a street musician. Or at least try it. Preferably out here on the island somewhere, not in NYC. I saw some advice online and one of the points was to stand up, not sit down. That's a bit difficult, for long, with a uke without a strap, because with the ukes I have (except the banjo, which has a strap) I have to hold them up while playing them. It's tiring. So I'm looking into various ways to use straps and types of straps. There are a couple of them that don't require installing buttons on the uke. One called the uke leash holds the head stock and frees up the left hand. I got one of these and tried it. Not good. Playing angle not good and it doesn't free me up enough. There's another that I will probably try, called the mobius strap. It wraps around the waist of the body. Looks like it could do the trick. We'll see...
