3 Foreword When I was a teenager I remember thinking, What stories will I tell my children that will make me seem old-fashioned? I wondered for years and then it happened: the internet. It didnt arrive until I was seventeen years old and even then it was dial-up. Oh, dad, youre so ancient, theyll say, as they roll their eyes. Suddenly, my computer went from being an overpriced paperweight to being a magic window onto the world. What I soon realized is that it looked out on a world brimming with deserving causes. When I opened the window Id I see a hailstorm of worthy charities and projects that could put my donations to good use. I felt the urge to help, but I was overwhelmed by it all. You cant do everything, Id say to myself, close the window and walk away. Then I discovered Ukuleles For Peace. I was in my early twenties and UFP was just what I was looking for: ukulele, politics and good people making a difference. Since then Ive had the pleasure of meeting Paul Moore and learning more about the history of UFP, its mission, its trials and its triumphs. My admiration for the project has only increased over the years. As the worldwide ukulele community grows, so too does our ability to affect change socially, musically, and politically. Buying this book puts you one step closer to the front line, one step closer to the crest of ukuleles Third Wave, where history is being made. The mighty uke, indeed Thanks for supporting a great project and thank you to Paul Moore and his team for showing us just what the ukulele can be: an instrument of joy, change, and hope. Uke on James Hill August

4 Introduction Greetings Ukulele Players. Once again, good people have come together and found the time to put together another wonderful ebook to help us all become better ukers. Not only that, they have done it for Ukuleles For Peace. A big thank you to everyone who has donated their time and effort to this book, especially Ken, who has done a wonderful job bringing it all together and making it happen. UFP has been going now for over years and is still growing and incorporating more communities here in Israel. Since moving to the Galilee years ago, it has been harder keeping the group going in the center in Hod Hasharon and Tira. However, with the help of good peoples donations, we are keeping this branch going. I have always planned on taking the message of UFP to other areas in Israel and I am working now to start up a group here in the Galilee. With the help of funds raised through this book, I hope we will be able to grow and help the poorer communities here experience the power of the ukulele as a means to bring people together. I am writing this now from Finland where I have been playing at a major ukulele festival and also talking about UFP. Ukulele players are wonderful people, always with open hearts. Together, I hope we can all bring more joy, happiness and, of course, the peace which all the people of the Earth so desperately need. Projects like this ebook and the help of friends of UFP inspire us and enable us to continue, even when times are hard in Israel. Right now I am in the middle of building a home here in the Galilee Mountains. The Last Homely House will also be a place for ukulele

5 players from all over the world to come and visit, and, if they wish, to help in the work of UFP. When the house is completed, I plan to have the first gathering of international ukulele players in Israel. Thank you so much for supporting us through this book. Please feel free to contact me about the work of Ukuleles For Peace. Peace be with us all. Paul Moore August The Last Homely House Harashim Western Galilee Mountains Israel ) pdmoore@zahav.net.il I would love to turn up at the United Nations and just simply play our music to them as a statement of what is possible. Words seem to only divide, whereas music unites us all in harmony. Paul Moore
