If only we in the US had more reporters like Ms. Logan, this country mightn't be in the state it is. Instead, the media give us spoon-fed pablum and report only that which our government thinks we can handle. Hats off to you, Lara.

Correction: Jake, you play a phenomenal cavaquinho! I didn't realize there were so many variations of the quitar family. Thanks-

Jake, your playing is beautiful and inspiring. I don't have a huge musical knowledge: is the the strutting a scaled miniature of an acoustic guitar? I've been thinking of learning to play, but my fingers have limited strength. The ukelele's neck looks to be a more comfortable stretch than that of an acoustic. All that aside, you play remarkably!
