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!

 Our next meeting will be October 15, 2012. In the meantime, I will be adding some new songs to try. June has sent me some songs as pdf files so we can see if these print out more easily. Please send any song you'd like us to learn (but remember, someone will need to be able to lead the singing!) See you soon!

Happy Strumming!
Judy

Note: I posted a more complex version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in a lower key, for those who like a challenge.
