Host: Stuart Yoshida

Guests: Cynthia Kinnunen, Chris Kennison

It’s the middle of July, and I’ve got some hot topics to talk about with my amazing panel of guests. Returning to the show are Cynthia Kinnunen from Guelph, Canada, along with Chris Kennison, a regular on this show and now with the Rhythm Cats Band in Mesa, Arizona. We go deep to talk about letting go of old beliefs about playing ukulele, and then all the things we love about grassroots music festivals.
