The Ukelites came to visit us in Chapel Hill, and to my delight, my birthday fell during that time, so I invited more ukey friends—Atlantans Bill (23Skidoo) plus Alan (decaturcomp) and his wife Terri. We had quite a musical party for two days.

The first day we played most of 9 hours, during which we sorted out what songs we wanted to sing. The second day, we recorded these six songs. Thanks to Bill, who trimmed and polished the videos.

1. When I’m 64 - Ginny, Terri, Miriam, Craig, Bill, Alan, Steffen

2. Stray Cat Strut - Miri, Alan, Bill, Craig, Terri, Steffen

3. Heard It in a Love Song - Craig, Alan, Bill, Ginny

4. Don’t Fence Me In - Ginny, Terri, Miri, Craig, Bill, Alan, Steffen

5. Hand Me Down My Walking Cane - Alan, Craig, Bill, Steffen

6. Annabelle - Miri, Bill, Steffen


 
Happy Birthday, Ginny!

It looks - and sounds - like all y'all had a blast!

But what is that thing Bill is playing - a 6-string contra-bass ukulele?

"Heresy!", he snorted.

I only wish I could have been there.

Wonderful, wonderful ! What more could any Ukelele player want? I hope someday to get to participate in something like that.

What a blast! I'm happy that we could be part of the party for a few minutes via Skype.
I'm going to watch a couple of those videos again now.
