See?  Wrong again... 

But I think we should americanize it to mean just music.

Or not.

Musicmoots, this is normal, the thread is done, there's nothing else to say about whether or not you should get a uke, the consensus is: yes.

Now it's winding down, ready to die and fall to the bottom of the page.  Take no offense at this, it just is.

While I'm at it, do you agree that the americanization of busking should just be music?
