Back in August, I had earache. Otitis Media to be specific.
After I got back from having it checked out by my doctor, I wrote a Twitter about it. John was playing on his ukelele and looking over my shoulder at the time so sang the Twitter as I wrote it.
Then I went over to Wikipedia to read all about Otitis Media, and as I read, John sang. As it turned out, the Otitis Media article worked beautifully as a song.
So we made it into a song. And we put the song on a website. And a fun new project was born.
Like with ELER, after an initial flurry of action, we’ve been a bit slow on it of late – but other members of the Church of the Ukelele have been stepping up and the collection of videos is slowly growing.
If you can play the uke – or any other instrument – and fancy joining the cool kids club, there are full instructions on the site.
There are only about 2,576,419 articles to go – so hurry!
