"If you study the basic chords [C, F, G], you should play for many people. Even if you can play only three chords, it is just enough.
"If your family and friends' faces turn bitter, you don't have to worry. If you are a poor player, just back up slowly and fade away."
-- from "Ukulele Lesson" by Kunishige (quote appears in chapter 6 - "Playing the Ukulele Live")
