Ep. 61: FEMA Was Called

Guests: Ben Hassenger, Cynthia Kinnunen Hosts: Stuart Yoshida, Doug Brown The Thanksgiving season snuck up on me, and it gave me pause to be thankful to have a couple of friends back on the show from the upper regions of North America. We welcome Cynthia Kinnunen from Guelph, Canada, and Ben Hassenger from Lansing, Michigan, on the show again to talk about their recent ukulele festivals, try to figure out the “Why” of these festivals, and the healing power of the ukulele.
