About us
The Ukulele Rebellion has begun! Join us at our various monthly meetings (and other events).
We are an educational group, seeking to teach beginners and beyond to play the ukulele. Our primary songbooks are The Daily Ukulele (the Yellow Book), The Daily Ukulele Leap Year Edition (the Blue Book), and The Daily Ukulele, Another Year (the Purple Book), all published by Flea Market Music.
We also play some songs from chord/lyric sheets that can be downloaded (see below).
We ask for a $5 donation per meeting to pay for Meetup.com site maintenance and other expenses.
If you can print out your own copies of the "alternate" songs from the Files section of the group (Under "More" above), that would be fabulous! The songs for each meetup that have been requested (both new and old) are in a file with the meetup's date. The whole book is under "Rebellious Songbook." The Xmas songs are under "Rebellious Xmas Songs."
Thanks, and we hope to see you strumming along with us.

Second Saturday of the Month - Live and In Person #37 -- PURPLE BOOK!
Location not specified yetTHIS IS AN IN-PERSON MEETUP!
We continue with our rotation of playing from only one of the three Daily Ukulele Books each month. This month we'll play from the Daily Ukulele -- Another Year book (the Purple Book). Because I have a wscheduling conflict, this jam will be in Disney Mark's more than capable hands. Sorry to have to miss it.
If you'd like to play a song that isn't in the Purple Book, please let me know in advance so I can post a link to the song chart on our meetup page, and please bring additional copies with you.
If you don’t have the Yellow, Blue, or Purple Books yet, you can purchase them from Jim Beloff’s website [https://www.fleamarketmusic.com/store/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=24].
You can also find them on amazon.com and other online bookstores, on eBay, and at local music shops and bookstores. Please bring your instrument(s), a floor or table music stand, your singing voices, and your fabulous ukulele spirit!We'll play music from 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm, with a short intermission.
We'll go around the room so that everyone can pick songs to play. If you pick a song, you will be encouraged (but not required) to lead it. If you'd like to let the group know in advance which songs you plan to select, please post the songs you choose in the comments, and we'll play one of those songs each time it's your turn to pick a song.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
I do not disclose the location of our in-person jams on the Meetup website. While the date and time of these in-person meetups will still be posted here, I'll be notifying people of the location of these meetups using an email distribution list. If you'd like to be on this list, please email me at sfukerebellion@yahoo.com from the email address you'd like me to add to the distribution list.COVID UPDATE: Covid seems to haveeased as we head into summer. I think it's safe for us to meet, but I still strongly encourage people to observe social distancing and other measures, like masking, that have been shown to inhibit the spread of airborne viruses like Covid and the flu. For the safety of others in the group, please don't attend this meetup if you are not feeling well or if you are experiencing Covid-like or flu-like symptoms. I won't require people to test for Covid, but I strongly encourage you to test for Covid on Saturday afternoon. From what I understand, most of the people I know who have gotten Covid recently got it from someone who didn't even know they had it at the time of exposure. Thank you in advance for your thoughtfulness.

GOLDEN GATE PAVILION GOODBYE TO SUMMER JAM -- IN-PERSON EVENT
Golden Gate Pavilion at Stow Lake, 7684 CA-1, San Francisco, CA, USWith Halloween fast approaching and with the nice weather San Francisco gets in October (fingers crossed!) let's meet at the the Golden Gate Pavilion at Blue Heron (formerly Stow) Lake to play music that celebrates Halloween, the end of summer, and the onset of autumn. Please note the earlier start time so we can wrap up before it gets cold!
We'll play music from the Daily Ukulele (Yellow) and Daily Ukulele -- Leap Year Edition (Blue) books, and I'll be posting a small music packet with a few songs that aren't in the Yellow or Blue books.
If you don’t have the Yellow, Blue, or Purple Books yet, you can purchase them from Jim Beloff’s website [https://www.fleamarketmusic.com/store/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=24]. You can also find them on amazon.com and other online bookstores, on eBay, and at local music shops and bookstores.

It often gets cold or windy in the afternoon in the park, so please dress accordingly.
As we do at our montly in-person meetups, we'll go around the circle, and anyone who would like to lead a song may do so. If you like, you can post here in the comments what song you'd like to lead when it's your turn so that those so inclined can practice in advance. You're free to pass when it's your turn, or pick a song and ask someone else to lead it, but the more voices we hear, the better!
