Terry Hardy and Peg Whalen had a unique and ambitous tour of the United States.Terry played and sang the state song on the ukulele at the state capitol of each state. This was no easy endeavor. They had to research what the state song was, learn the song, play it at the capitol, and record the performance.
Then not only did they complete their 'Uke Quest' but they documented it on a website that includes a wonderful record of their travels. Each state has a complete record of the state flag, name of the state capital and state song, recording of the state song played by Terry on the ukulele, a picture of a postcard from the state, a picture of Terry with the ukulele at the capital, and a picture of Peg at the capitol. Terry even has a state t-shirt on for most of his performances. The effort that went into this remarkable project is unbelievable. Check it out!

Some of their favorite travel memories are: hiking in Vermont in the fall, wandering the streets and listening to music in New Orleans, Austin, and Nashville, hiking Joshua Tree and Death Valley, and driving/hiking in North Dakota. They loved the prairies of Teddy Roosevelt National Park and the deserts of Utah.
Thank you Terry and Peg for documenting your trip. It is an inspiration and we foresee it will be a great resource for many! What a legacy!
