Ukulele Hall Of Fame Looking For A Home

Cranston, RI (WFN) -- A Rhode Island man wants to strum up support for a museum dedicated to the ukulele.

Ever since 1996, ukulele buff David Wasser has been collecting ukes, sheet music and interviews for the proposed museum, which will be called -- what else? -- the Ukulele Hall of Fame.

Wasser says his organization now has 401 card-carrying, ukulele-playing members and more than 1000 ukes in storage for the proposed museum -- which he hopes to set up somewhere in Hawaii.

Stringing together enough interest for the museum hasn't been easy but Wasser is confident there will be a uke hall built in his lifetime, especially because the instrument is surfing a new wave of popularity thanks to comedian and uke buff Adam Sandler.

In the meantime, Wasser hopes to strike a chord with his fellow ukulele players by presenting his plans at Ukulele Expo 2004, a three-day uke fest taking that starts September 17 in Bushkill, Pennsylvania.
