Dear Pineapple Pete,

Your ukeschool.com website is very useful.  But it’s not cool.  Nope.  Very stodgy, very academic, very out of touch with the “now”.  What you need is a blog on the site.  And I’m not saying you should write the blog – because if you did, it would be very stodgy, very academic, and very out of touch with the “now”.  No, you shouldn’t write the blog – you should get me to do it!

I could be like the Perez Hilton of the Ukulele.  It would balance out your site, like salt and pepper, like tequila and lime, like fish and poi, like Ernie and Bert.  Your website could be useful and cool.

Whatcha think?

Best regards,

Barnacle Bob

Obviously, I couldn’t pass up an offer like that.  So I set this blog thing up, and turned a set of keys over to Barnacle Bob.  I hope it turns out well, and that you think that it’s fun.
