ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND APRIL 9-10, 2016 AND THEREAFTER -- In this Feb. 10, 2016 photo, ukulele instructor Kathy Paulson leads a ukulele lesson at the public library in Ketchikan, Alaska. When walking through the Ketchikan Public Library or down a hall of the University of Alaska Southeast Ketchikan Campus’ Robertson Building or even through a quiet residential neighborhood one evening, there is a chance you could hear the dulcet tone of an instrument more often associated with the Hawaiian Islands, not an island in Southeast Alaska. However, a group of mostly local residents over the past year has gotten together to pluck out songs ranging from "Blowin' in the Wind" to "Bad Moon Rising" to "Hey Good Lookin'" and everything in between on the ukulele. They are the Southeast Strummers. (Taylor Balkom/Ketchikan Daily News via AP)
