"First, always seek to excel
yourself. Put yourself in competition with yourself each day. Each morning look
back upon your work of yesterday and then try to beat it."
~ Charles M.
Sheldon
"Fearlessness is often one
of the attributes that define a great artist. This is no truer than when
considering the career of the 'ukulele virtuoso, Herb Ohta (Ohta San)."
