Great to see everyone on Monday! We had fifteen strummers! Our next meeting in November 5.

Here are some great links for finding song lyrics and chords. If you learn a new song, please bring copies and teach it to the group. The first two sites have lots of old favorites; Ukulele Hunt also has a lot of modern and indie songs (I figure that if I've never heard it, it must be modern, which might make it a "classic" to some of you!)

Also, check out Ukulele Mike on youtube. He has nearly 200 tutorials posted--ranging from basic skills (strum patterns, how to tune) to jazz chords. I can't say enough about his lessons. He explains everything in just enough detail and then shows the chords right on the screen so you can play along. Find him on Youtube or on his website at www.ukulelemikelynch.com

I'll be posting new songs on this page several times during the next few weeks, so you will want to check more than once. Also, if you are new to the group, be sure to scroll all the way down and print out all the songs. Please note--sometimes I'll post the same song in different keys. This is to accommodate the vocal range of different singers. If you learn a song to teach us, YOU get to pick the key!
