four chords to glory

You may have heard me claim that much of rock 'n roll can be reached with four chords.
On the ukulele, the first 2 are one finger on one string, the third is adding one to the 2nd, and the last is, okay, three fingers on three strings, but you're so close to so much fun you might as well go for it.

sawdust to sawdust: shag bark hickory

Shag bark hickory in the yard came down, two arborists agreed there was no saving the tree.
It was a sapling in a photo of the street from 1898 when the other side of the street was grass heading into center of town.  On yt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ6j2a5eXuw
