Guess what the most popular instrument among primary/elementary children is now?

[fireheart]

Is it the recorder? Nope.
The flute? Nope.
The drums? Well maybe.

It's the ukulele.

All I have to say is

Folk Uke, Arlo Guthrie's and Willie Nelson's daughters, singing (NSFW) S**t Makes The Flowers Grow.

My dog has fleas?

[Eevie]

Better than whistles or kazoos I suppose! And recorders... Oh how I hate recorders.

[PepperElf]

but... I liked the recorder!

although I have to agree about kazoos!

I learnt the ukulele in grade school as well. I wish my kids did instead of the recorder.

They're fun to play. But being the oldest child, I had to listen to the stupid instrument for every single one of my little siblings. And any neighbor kids who were learning to play... I think "The Great Recorder Parade" as I called it, ruined any remaining tolerance I had for the thing. Basically every kid who was learning to play the recorder on the nearby streets, got into a group and paraded through the cul-de-sacs with their recorders. Yeah.... There was no escaping that racket, seeing how all of the kids were on different levels of skill.
