Amoebite Heather, who has appeared on past Amoeba Music Compilation releases, and who currently performs (armed with ukulele, soulful voice, and winning aura) under the moniker Uni and her Ukulele - including doing a number of instores at Amoeba Music - is always quite the productive artist. Here is her latest news update which, along with video clips and concert & tour news, includes some good solid life-advice care of her Aunt Tootie. .....all brought to you by the letter U

Before I get down to the real nitty gritty about Uke Festivals, Glamtrak Tours, photo shoots, and Club Unicornbread's show this Friday, I wanted to share a personal story with U. When I moved to L.A. my Aunt Tootie gave me a picture with a girl sitting by a brook. She has long blonde hair and is wearing a gunisack dress. The girl in the picture is blowing bubbles into the wind that at some point become butterflies. On the back of this picture my aunt wrote me a letter. What she said still sticks in my mind to this day. She wrote, "Take time to blow Bubbles"
As Mariel a la Mode and I were taking promotion pictures for our Glamtrak Tour (photos by Lenny Gonzalez) I just so happened to have a bottle of bubbles in my suitcase. As I was blowing them into the wind, (camera goes click click) images of my Hollywood Amoeba Music Instore performance when Uncle Kenny blew bubbles on me, while Brently's daughter Micha danced around me while I played. I also remembered all the rad kids in Merced who had like 20 bottles worth, were blowing them on me while they sang along to my song "See Your Face Again".
