In 2004 I met Andy when band mates Peter English, Ty Barnes and I played Uke-Fest West ( http://www.ukefestwest.com/ ) in Santa Cruz, put on by Andy and the Santa Cruz Club and held in the beautiful Cocoanut Grove facility.

Since then we’ve stayed in touch and got together a bit in New York City during the 2006 NY Uke Fest, where Andy invited me to visit when I could.The rest will soon be history!!

Thanks, Andy.

I’ll report more, folks, as it develops.
