Sounds lovely! And you have a nice singing voice.

My impulse buy ukulele arrived two days ago, and I've now taken it out (was on Amazon quarantine). Need to tune it, and it conveniently came with an electronic tuner. Because it has nylon strings, it will apparently need to be tuned frequently in the beginning. also came with carrying bag and strap that's a bit too patriotic. And what looks to be an electronics wipe (?). And an instructional CD-rom, which is kinda funny (no CD drive on Macbook, though I have an external one somewhere). Fender is giving free 3 months (I think) of lessons for guitar, ukulele, and...something else, so may try those.

We'll see...

Dr. T was amused when I said I got one. Supposed to have easier learning curve than guitar, so...
Thanks for this!
