So, me and Robby (3nails4holes) hosted our first Charlotte area Uke jam and it...
ROCKED!!!
We had about 6 ukes, 2 guitars, a trumpet, with some tambourine and maraca thrown in there... we played a group Somewhere Over the Rainbow... tried out a few more songs... and at some point we ended up singing some latin music... which sounded really good with the trumpet!
Some random tidbits:
A lady showed up because she is looking for a Uke player to play Somewhere Over the Rainbow as she walks down the isle. (random)
We had a local young person come and get a quick beginner lesson from our friend Jeff and she stayed and played a few songs... which was really cool! I can tell she enjoyed it! (Thanks Jeff)
And we have some great ideas and a good base to make the next jam even better! (some organized chaos without losing the 'jam' part)
I thought my shop would not be busy because the weather is crap... and for some reason we were packed! (not that I am complaining)
We got a few new people on the underground! (gotta spread the UU love)
We are now going to meet every first Saturday! (and I already can't wait)
We do not have a name yet... but we need one! (any ideas)
I wish I got more pictures and video... but I seriouly was so darn busy! It was like a snow explosion!!! But here are a few:
