I started playing ukulele a couple of years ago.
I used to dabble with the guitar way back when, but after years of not playing music, I picked up a cheap, $20 ukulele on a whim and was kind of surprised how much fun I had playing it

. I'd expected it would be the sort of thing I'd fool around with for a couple of weeks before sticking it in the closet to attract dust, but now I have a small collection of cheap ukes (don't judge; I'm poor

) of varying sizes. My favorite is my banjolele.
