Congrats on your new uke!  You will find it is so much fun and very easy to get going on.  On YouTube there is a guy named Ukulele Mike that has lots of videos of songs, tutorials, tips, etc.

Thanks for the heads up.  I found a site called ukulelehunt.com, which seems to have a few nuggets of information, as well.

I'm beginning to attempt to learn the mandolin.  I have my late dad's 1937 brand-unknown mandolin, I've had it fixed up, and I've already got a couple of chords down.

I thought medium guitar strings were rough on your fingers, mandolin strings destroy them LOL

We bought a harp so Mrs SMan could take lessons after she retires this year and use it as a therapy instrument when she visits retirement/assisted living homes.  I found myself being drawn to it.  It is a Dusty Strings 26 string Koa harp with a maple soundboard.  Hard to make an unpleasing sound with it.
