"I don't know what she used, but the ukulele version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow is really well known, and would work for someone with a style similar to Spiral's."

I would love to try and make it out there for a hoop jam! By the pictures, it looks like a fantastic time. :D If I ever can, I will try. :)

Thanks for the video comment! :) I haven't gotten a chance to take pics yet of my flow-wand, but I can describe it to you! It's basically a weighted stick that has shiny sheen tape on it I think. I think it has more weight on the bottom then the top so that the bottom stays in place. In the center of the stick is a whole that goes through it, and that's where the string loops through so that you can put in on your finger. My flow-toys wand has a little sticker on the bottom too so that you know where the bottom is when resetting it. :)
