Ukulele Festivals, Cheap Beer, and Dream Bookings

On this week’s Live Lesson, the guys are joined by a special guest (all the way from the other side of the world) Mr. Ben Anderson. Ben is the organizer of the Czech Ukulele Festival. The guys ask Ben tons of questions about the challenges and highlights of running an ukulele festival. They also chat about Hawaiian food, cheap beer, and their dream lineup for an ukulele festival.
