Chinese Lunar Festival (...and ukulele)


For anyone interested, I'll be singing and playing (ukulele), as part of L.A. Chinatown's Chinese Lunar Festival, this Saturday, February 24th. The festival starts at 10:00am, the Golden dragon Parade begins at 2:00pm, and I, along with several other musicians and performers, will hit the mainstage at 5:00pm. I'll be performing about five songs, and it should be a lot of fun, especially if I don't embarrass myself.

We all know what an important historical role the ukulele has played in Chinese culture.


It's a natural! For details call (213) 617-0396. There should be something for everybody!

Hey Ernie,

You are AMAZING!!! I'm your biggest fan! We need to get together sometime. It's been too long my friend. Or maybe I could just call you.

BTW who is that Chinese hottie in this pic?? Were you playing the uke with her?

JEFF! Great to hear from you man! You're right- it has been too long.
You've got the fan thing backwards though. If I could draw half as well as you, I'd be... uh... really, really, really good!

Did I play uke with the above hottie? Sure I did! That's my story, and I'm sticking with it. Oh, and she told me I was sexy, too...

I'm gonna be down your way sometime next week. Wanna try to hook up for lunch, or something?
