Faith, your setup sounds pretty cool. I love the Sweetwater Santa idea... :) I almost ordered my new ukulele from them but they were out of stock of the Cordoba I wanted so I had to look elsewhere. But they are awesome.. :)
I should also add, Santa is bringing me at least a couple months worth of 30 Day Singer lessons, too.....I didn't think I would ever sing and play guitar but now that I have the ukulele, my predictions were right...I AM singing more, regardless of my abilities so it's giving me a little more confidence that I might be able to sing even better someday...with the guitar, too. I recorded Little Drummer Boy (my youtube channel) on my ukulele yesterday and SANG my little heart out...haha.
