Virtual Ukulele Rebellion 107 -- Celebrating Six Years on Zoom!

San Francisco Ukulele Rebellion met on Zoom for the first time on April 18, 2020. This April, we'll be celebrating our sixth anniversary on Zoom, and on the very same day in April as our first meeting! As we did for our previous anniversaries, we'll play your favorite songs and/or songs that might have helped you get through the Covid-19 pandemic. Please consider sharing favorite songs that you have NOT shared in a previous San Francisco Ukulele Rebellion Zoom meetup. We'll play music from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm Pacific Daylight Time.

To address recent instances of Zoom-bombing, I have created a waiting room and I will be looking at and implementing additional security procedures for access to Zoom. Please make sure your Zoom name is one I recognize. Peoplw who appear in the Zoom waiting room will not be admitted to the Zoom meeting if any of the hosts do not recognize his or her name. The Zoom link will appear on this page when you RSVP. If Zoom asks for a passcode, the passcode is Rebellion. The passcode is case-sensitive.

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. The cut-off time for requesting to lead a song is THE TUESDAY BEFORE THE MEETING (for this meeting, Tuesday April 14), 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.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO LEAD A SONG USING SHEET MUSIC OR A CHORD CHART THAT ISN'T IN THE YELLOW BOOK, THE BLUE BOOK, OR THE BBJ GROOVY SONGBOOK, EMAIL THE DOCUMENT TO ME IN DIGITAL FORMAT IN ADVANCE SO THAT I CAN UPLOAD IT TO DROPBOX AND POST IT ON THE SCREEN FOR OTHERS.

PLEASE NOTE: To accommodate all first song requests, we may not have time to get to all second (or third) song requests. When asking to lead more than one song, please indicate your first and second choices to ensure that, if we can't get to your second request, the song you'd most like to lead is included in that evening's song list. Thank you in advance for your willingness to lead songs and your understanding about how the song list for each meeting is prepared.
You can reach me by email at sfukerebellion@yahoo.com
