Details

The word of the week is ISLAND, and although of course kudos to you for bringing us some Hawaiian uke music, Hawaii’s cousins will be warmly welcomed as well. (Anything Marley or Buffett, anyone?) And as usual you can also be a ukulele rebel and bring us any off-theme song you like.

For this week: DOUBLE BONUS POINTS if you wear an Island shirt during the event. TRIPLE BONUS POINTS if your drink has an umbrella in it.

You’ll find plenty of on-theme songs in our "official" MUJ dropbox at:

But you can send any song you like (our files, anything you find or create, preferably as PDFs) to
MorristownUkeJam@gmail.com, and I’ll drop them into our ISLAND JAM directory, created for this event, here:

TAKE NOTE: The "official" start time for playing will be 7 pm; but I’ll be online from 6:30 on to welcome and chat with any early-comers.

SECOND NOTE: Our first round will be for PLAYALONGS only, from those who have sent me song sheets. If you have a song you want to play for us and don't have any song sheet to post, I'm sure we'll love it - but it'll need to wait for the second round.

THIRD NOTE: If it's possible, I'm confident you'll enjoy this event more if you have TWO screens to work from, one for the video conference and one to bring up the song sheet.

This is just a JAM, so there's no songbook; but you do get bonus points if you follow the theme. If you're a beginner and you just know one song (or three), DON'T be thinking you're not good enough to lead us. Believe you me, if you bring an easy song, HALF of the folks attending will be so, so, so glad you did.

Here’s how it’ll work:
• You click on the event link below. (Yes, you’ll be asked to click to download Zoom if you don’t have it; it won’t take long.) You’ll appear in our very own version of The Brady Bunch / Hollywood Squares. I.e., the camera on your laptop will help you join us online.

• When the time comes to play a song, our host will MUTE everyone except the person leading. If it's a playalong, you can bring up the song sheet and follow the leader.

• First round: The host will go down a list of participants who have sent song sheets that are now in the Island Jam directory.

• Second round: Anyone can bring us anything they like, whether it’s a second playalong or perhaps something you just want to perform for us.

And... that's it! Specs for the meeting if your link doesn't work:
