Interview with James Hill on his new crowd-sourced ukulele recording project, Uke Heads. Buy a Uke Head art piece, learn an ukulele part, record yourself, get on the album. It's a cool concept that ventures into Blockchain territory so I invited my friend, Dagan Bernstein to join us and lend his expertise in NFTs and ukulele collaboration to the conversation.
