Aloha Kakou!
We meet with other local Ukulele players for the Love & Respect of playing the Ukulele! We play, share, exchange songs of the BEATLES, '60's, '70's, Old-time standards, Tin Pan Alley, HAWAIIAN, Elvis, Movie soundtracks/Showtunes, and more! Like WXRT 93.1 FM DJ Terri Hemmert says on her "Breakfast With the Beatles" radio show, "Bring Your Ukulele & Enthusiasm!" Open to everyone. All ages. Beginners-novices-pros. No egos. Fee: $5.
As of June 2011, we all play from the same songbook, "Daily Ukulele Songbook" by Liz and Jim Beloff. Our members here receive a 12% discount off the retail price ($34.99) from our store sponsor, WONDERWALL Music Shoppe & Emporium. If anyone wishes to bring a song to share at the group meetups, please make about 20 copies, all TYPED with chords & lyrics. No hand-written sheets please.
