In a moment’s time, like a flashbulb going off, I watched Daroll Whitney play his ukulele in Steuben. He loved playing it soft and sweet with a lot of life. Whitney controlled the ukulele with such a rhythm and so relaxed. His voice told the whole story. He had dress pants on. He wore sneakers. Whitney was up for the challenge to entertain. He was a showman and he played three songs that afternoon. Whitney, of Winter Harbor, loves open mic events.
