I have missed reading and posting on UU. I have been slammed with private lessons (not on uke) and working at two schools. But... I've gone and done something that I'm excited about.
I started a ukulele club. I had one friend who was enthusiastic about it. I put some information out on Facebook and we met in the basement of my church a few weeks ago.
Including me, we had ten at the first meeting and now have had three more people want to come. I am very excited about the initial interest and hope to get an ad in local papers for our March meeting.
Right now, it is very laid back and many folks are new to music and ukulele, so we are taking it nice and slow.
If anyone has experience in running a ukulele club, I would appreciate some good tips and ideas to keep people interested.
We've also had members getting ukuleles. So a big thank you to Mim, and Mike at Uke Republic for helping our folks out. We also had a member attend one of Uke Republic's classes last weekend, in Atlanta. We plan to make a group pilgrimage when this crazy weather lets up.
I have pointed the members in this direction to learn about the Ukulele. There's no place better than UU for getting information and common sense solutions for ukulele questions.
I have a website set up, but it is extremely basic. We are on facebook. Just search Ukulele Band of Alabama.
Mahalo to everyone here on UU for all the information and support in my ukulele journey over the past year and a month or so - without all the folks here, I wouldn't have ever had the guts or spirit to do this. We are having fun! If you find yourself in Alabama the second Monday of any month, come jam with us; we'd be glad to have you!!
