What we're about

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) and The Daily Ukulele Leap Year Edition (the Blue Book) 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.

Bronco Billy's Virtual Ukulele Jam!

Online event

It is now December, and the holidays are upon us! So it's time to play and sing holiday songs! This year more than ever, we need to play music as much as possible...this will be the first year I don't spend Christmas with my grandkids in California due to the pandemic. So let's choose songs either from the groovy songbook OR from the WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SONGBOOK! FINALLY here is the new and improved GROOVY holiday songbook: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b0jbkxn8jlg4pbi/2020_FINAL%20Bronco%20Billy%20Holiday%20Song%20Packet.pdf?dl=0 Groovy Virtual Songbook - version 5 https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ltzfykguj0dwif/2020-08-24_v5_Official%20BBJ%20Virtual%20Song%20Packet.pdf?dl=0 Zoom event info: Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88524800869?pwd=Q2RXT29WRTdya1JnWGwvWUdSN3YxZz09 Meeting ID:[masked] Password:[masked] One tap mobile [masked],,[masked]#,,1#,462618# US (San Jose) [masked],,[masked]#,,1#,462618# US (Tacoma) Dial by your location [masked] US (San Jose) [masked] US (Tacoma) [masked] US (Houston) [masked] US (New York) [masked] US (Germantown) [masked] US (Chicago) Meeting ID:[masked] Password:[masked] Find your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kescckMHGr

Virtual Ukulele Rebellion 18! Holiday Season Edition!

Online event

Let's play holiday songs until 9:00 pm PST, followed by cybersocializing for those who want to stay and visit. Bring a favorite holiday ornament, decoration, or gift to show everyone. Direct link to Zoom meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87985515493?pwd=a1drOFRDZ0gxWW9tM0hFbXFzbzdaUT09 Meeting ID:[masked] Passcode: Rebellion PLEASE NOTE: Beginning in late September, Zoom may require a passcode even if you use a direct link. If you'd like to lead a song, please let me know, either by posting here in the comments or by email, which song(s) you would like to lead by NO LATER THAN THE TUESDAY BEFORE THE MEETING (for this meeting, Tuesday September 29), even if you're going to be leading a song from one of the Daily Ukulele books. I'll post a songlist here in advance of our meeting. I'll be posting all songs onscreen. It's always nice hearing other people singing and playing, so we'll take turns leading songs again, like we do at our in-person meetups. Feel free to suggest a song, even if you don't want to lead it. IF YOU'D LIKE TO LEAD A SONG USING SHEET MUSIC OR A CHORD CHART THAT **ISN'T** IN EITHER THE YELLOW BOOK OR THE BLUE BOOK, EMAIL THE DOCUMENT TO ME IN DIGITAL FORMAT **IN ADVANCE** SO THAT I CAN POST IT ON THE SCREEN FOR OTHERS.

Virtual Ukulele Rebellion 19! Hooray for Hollywood: Music From Movies Edition!

'Twas the night after Christmas, And all through the room, Anyone who was stirring Was stirring on Zoom. Christmas is when Hollywood releases most of its best movies. Let's celebrate the day after Christmas by playing SONGS FROM FILMS. These songs can be Oscar winning songs, songs from musicals, or songs that just happened to show up in a film. The only requirement is that the song has to have appeared in a movie. We'll play music until 9:00 pm PST, followed by cybersocializing for those who would like to stay and visit.
