I just realized I never updated this since my last post of ukulele distress..

As you can see in the below iphone video, I got my beloved Kala back!
I am still a bit in shock at the amazing grace dumped on me.. and it’s more than a good story, I needed that thing to perform at a few shows the following weeks and couldn’t afford to buy a new one. So here’s what happened:
If you look down at my last post you’ll see there is 1 comment on it. A week after the incident I got an email notifying me about a comment on this blog.. and I of course freaked out; laughed hysterically, hopped around and fell on the floor when telling my room mate. A security guard from children’s hospital (the closest building nearby to the bus stop I left the ukulele) had seen it in the lost and found and thought the owner would really like it back so he went to the trouble to track me down, himself being a ukulele player too! Stupidly, I didn’t have any personal information in the case, but there was a priceless performers badge on it which I posted about hoping someone would google search for my mom’s name on it… and it worked! So there are two heroes here that I learned and recorded this little song for — the person who took it to the children’s hospital when they easily could’ve pawned it off, and also the security guard detective.

Just goes to show that making a little extra effort to be kind can change someone’s world, and I only hope for the opportunity to do the same for someone else. Here’s to all the kind strangers out there…
