Having a Uke lession with Bill Tapia

Bill Tapia is still going strong at age 100 1/2. I had a ukulele lesson with him this July on Whidbey Island, along with my friends Susan and Niels. The man is sharp as a whip and full of energy, even though he was born during the Roosevelt administration - the Teddy Roosevelt administration. He liked my Ron Phillips resonator uke. After giving all three of us rather intense lessons, he said he'd been up all night with a sick stomach.
