She IS my friend

The ukelele hasn't gotten this much press since Tiny Tim played "Tiptoe Through the Tulips."
Jessica Latshaw, a singer/songwriter from Landenberg, was on the subway in New York when some guys started playing the congas. Jess happened to be carrying her ukelele and joined in. Another subway rider started filming their jam session and posted it to YouTube, the video-sharing site.

The video became a huge hit, showing up all over Facebook and Twitter, and Jess appeared on "Good Morning New York" on Jan. 11. She was charming and beautiful. The song she performed, "Ain't my Friend," is out on iTunes.You can read about the excitement on her blog, "This Life in Writing":
"Would you like to know what, exactly, I was ‘taking in’ while I was playing and singing on the tv this morning? Why the heck did I write such a long song with so many words?!"
No one deserves a career boost more than Jess, who is not only hugely talented but also an utter sweetheart. When she is in town (her parents run the Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Landenberg) she comes to my class at the Jennersville Y and simply lights it up with her gentle grace, generosity and kindness (and astonishing flexibility; she is also a dancer).
