Aloha Ukulele Friends,
After much experimenting, trying different platforms and testing with small groups we've ready to try a Virtual Meetup. This will be in a play-along format on Zoom.
This admittedly is not a great solution and pales in comparison to playing together in person but it'll serve to whet our appetites until we can play together at the Studio again. A few things to know when join this Meetup.
1. Use the zoom link further below to join the zoom meeting.
2. In this format one person leads the song, and everyone else mutes their microphones on the zoom app prior to the song starting. This is necessary because Zoom picks up the loudest sound, and if multiple people are un-muted, the sound becomes very garbled.
3. Depending on your platform, Ipad, PC, Mac, ChromeBook etc., there may be a way to set your audio to 'original sound'. We'd recommend this, if you can, as the ukulele has a tendency to sound tinny otherwise.
4. In the song list, there is a pdf listing the songs and song leaders. There are usually open slots for leaders, so if you'd like to lead a song, you are welcome to message me back and let me know which song you'd like to lead. Alternately, you can let us know at the beginning of the Meetup for any still open slots, and we'll put you in as leader. If multiple people want to lead a song, we can break it into parts.
Here's the song list:
Opihi Man
Stuck in The Middle With You
Bad Moon Rising
Drift Away
Witchy Woman
Johnny B Goode
Bottle of Wine
Tequila Sunrise
Princess Poopooly
These Boots are Made for Walk'n
Walk Like an Egyptian
