This chat with Molly Lewis was recorded on the Joco Cruise in March 2019. Molly has been playing ukulele on that cruise (and in many other places of course!) since its inception nine years ago, and I was so excited to get the opportunity to talk to her for the podcast. Links to some of the things we discussed are below.

I was going to get a photo of Molly’s Bluebird ukulele but as usual, I forgot. Here is a link to the concert version (hers is a tenor).

Songs played in this episode are:

Tom Cruise Crazy (Jonathan Coulton, 2006)
Johnny Dicklegs (Molly Lewis)
Kapo (Molly Lewis, 2014)
Short People (Randy Newman, 1977)
