overcoming stage fright

Joe Kowan shares how he dealt (and continues to deal) with the fear factor we all deal with, in doing things in front of people.  Hint:  imagining them with no clothes is not necessarily helpful -- is it any better to perform in front of a lot of naked strangers ?   http://on.ted.com/stagefright  Joe uses a baritone uke, which is a small guitar with only the top 4 strings.    And check out his strap!

mobile app for shukulele

Note:  experimental, if it stops working, just delete the shortcut.

Scan below for mobile app.   CAUTION:  for phones with limited unused storage make sure you know how to "reset" your phone BEFORE you do this.   Or, go to http://shukulele.mobapp.at

If your phone gets "stuck" or won't respond, follow these steps:  For most android phones, just take the battery out if everything else fails (power button doesn't do anything).  For iPhones / iPod / iPad:   HOLD the power button down, and HOLD the home button (at bottom), and don't let go until the lights go out.   You may have to hold both buttons for 15 seconds or longer.

On iPhone, once you open the URL use the "arrow coming out of box" icon, and "Add to Home Screen" and Save to directly start the mobile app.   Takes some time to start, be patient and enjoy the picture of the tshirt.
