            Oh my goodness!!!  My video views had gone up from 400 to 25000 literary, over night...  What!!!???  The world of internet is a very crazy place!  And my myspace page, which I had completely forgotten about, had so many "friend's requests"...!

Thank you so very much for all of your lovely comments and messages.  I read them ALL and of course my head was huge for a while until I spoke to my mum who brought me right back down to planet earth...haha:-0  But anyway, I really didn't expect this reaction from you all, it was just a quick video I did very geekishly to test out my new web-cam!  (And yes, it turns out 'not so good' in the dark!... thanks for your advice though, I will get a light bulb!  Why didn't I think-a that!?  haha:)  I'm not quite sure how this has happened but I guess I have to thank the person (Mark?) who put me on the boingboing.net website?  Thank you!!!xxxxx

Here is my 3rd video; the song is called Summer Face.  By the way, the other voice is also me, so please don't think that I made someone sing the harmonies and I was mean enough to hog the camera...


Some questions answered...

Q:  Can I buy your CD?
A:  Thank you so much, that is so nice...  Didn't think anyone would say that...ever!  I have been trying to get a CD together for friggin' years!  I've been on a very long journey to find the sound that I am comfortable with.  I even tried being a Rock Chick once...oh my god!  So not me.  How uncomfortable and awkward was I!?...  I'm a real geek at heart (I love it!), couldn't pull off being 'cool' to save my life!  But anyway, at the time I wasn't confident enough to stick to what I believed in and what I loved, and in that process of trying to be appealing or trying to please others, I actually totally lost myself and was very confused for a long time, didn't really know what was what...hmmm...  So!  Many failed demos and "new directions" later I am finally going to record my next EP/Album this summer (hopefully, I'll manage to get the funding together...Come on Universe!  Can't believe I just said "universe"...).  So the answer is no, I haven't got a CD but watch this space, I will keep you posted:)

Q:  Is it really a Ukulele!?
A:  many of you didn't believe that it was a ukulele because it has 6 strings but it is quite simply a 6 string tenor ukulele.  2 of the strings are just doubled up in octaves.  And yes!  I know my ukulele playing is not brilliant but I only started playing it in Feb (this year), so I'm still learning.  I was so uninspired and bored with the piano, probably because I teach it (I am a piano and singing teacher)...  I still love it but I needed something fresh and new.  So!  I met Alfred (the ukulele)...I know it's quite sad to name your instrument but mine came with a name when I bought it!  The shop-man said "Aha!  I have the perfect instrument for you...wait here a second... (after some digging)... here it is!  It's called Alfred!"...  
So there we go...

Q:  Do you write the songs?
A:  Yes, I do.  Well, obviously apart from the covers.

Q:  What is your nationality?
A:  I am half Scottish (mum) and half Japanese (dad).

Q:  Will you marry me?
A:  Ok, but only if you become my house wife.  I'll call you wifey:)  You'll have to do all the cooking and cleaning + look after the kids!...  no seriously, I'm very flattered but I'm not the marrying kind.  Haha:0

Q:  Were you named after the cartoon cow?
A: This one was my favourite!!!  I totally laughed out loud!:0  Lets say yes for now, I would love that!


Thanks a million:)  and more very soon!
