Hello Ukulele Fans from Canada and Below
North of 60!
Peter Forrest at F.W. Murnau's Grave in Stahnsdorf, Germany
(October 2011) |
My name is Peter Forrest and I'm a Canadian ukulele
player who lives in Ottawa, Canada. I speak English and French and I
can get by in German. I am 46 years old and living vicariously
through the ukulele in mid-life. LOL I originally started this site as a general
Canadian ukulele forum but I eventually had to delete the forum.
There was too much spam and a lack of users so it's
gone, gone, gone. hehe Anyway, I will
keep this cool domain name going and link up to Canadian
ukulele artists.
I've been playing the ukulele since October 2006. I live in Ottawa, Canada and I am a member of the
1st German Ukulele Club via the internet. I like to sing in
many languages: English, French, German, and a little bit in Finnish.
I've also been composing my own songs in English, French, and Finnish for the ukulele
and I upload my videos to YouTube.
I'm also a librarian and I have collected many ukulele books.
My home town is Sarnia, Ontario Canada and I've also lived many years in
Montreal.
Cheers and happy strumming,
Peter Forrest, purveyor of Ukulele North
(Je parle également la langue de Molière)
