MiCUP May 2024 May Mayhem

"It's May, It's May, the Lusty Month of May.....(Camelot)." Just any strum group can sing about May flowers but we are not just any group. We are the Michigan Capitol Ukulele Players! We are going to sing about May Mayhem! From the the scenes of many of my own personal disasters, that is on the golf course, to "Dead Man's Curve" or even the "Wreck of the "Edmund Fitzgerald" there are lots of songs out there that are not about roses and moonbeams! We are going to sing a few. So after your breakfast at "Alice's' Restaurant" (actually entitled "Alice's' Restaurant Massacree), where you can get anything you want, join us in person at the Okemos Branch library or on Zoom!

The preliminary song set is now available for download:

Of course we are happy to add other songs and we may be able to change the key on some that are already in the list. If you wish to add a song, please make sure it is a legible PDF file. Cell phone pictures of crumbled song sheets cannot be used. Please communicate using my email: jack.nolish@gmail.com only. The comment section of this page does not do the trick.

it is time to think outside the flower box and sing out those songs that have that darker moment. It will be great fun!

See you soon!
