Last night two friends and I attended the 'Jake Shimabukuro' concert at the Clyde theater. Jake Shimabukuro is a ukulele player from Hawaii, which is a little bit like saying Mozart was a piano player from Austria. The sounds Jake gets out of a ukulele are unbelievable. I have been a fan of his from the first time I heard him play, which I think was about 12 years ago at the C2G music hall here in Fort Wayne. He's been here several times since including two years ago when he played with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic. You can Google his name for more information. I highly recommend that you see him the next time he's in town. The other fun thing about the evening was that the performance was held at the Clyde theater. The first time I remember going to the Clyde Theater (when it was the biggest movie theater in Fort Wayne) was in 1957. Our class was taken on a field trip to see "The Ten Commandments." The Clyde has certainly changed since then, but I'm so pleased to see it back in use.
