A lot of good ideas so far. To throw another on the pile, ask your local Mall(s). Many Malls have meeting/conference rooms in them that go unused in the evening. If that's not available, and you don't mind people walking by, what about in the Mall itself? Many Malls are struggling now...

Nice. I've been flying for awhile now, mostly fixed wing. Build in the winter, fly in the summer. Here is a picture of a show my club had.

I just watched the movie Larry Crowne and was wondering if there were really gangs or large groups of mopeds driving around California? Not to make fun, I would love to use a moped as an alternative mode of transportation, but the roads around here in Indiana are not to moped friendly. I was...

I keep getting messages that UU VIP is trying to renew through my PayPall account. I checked here and I'm paid up through 2015, and I just got this e-mail: Hello, Your subscription to UU VIP (yearly) Subscription has been cancelled because your ach is invalid. You will not be billed for...

A man was driving down the road and ran out of gas. At that very moment, a bee flew in through his side window. The bee said, 'What seems to be the problem?' 'I'm out of gas,' the man answered. The bee told the man to wait right there and flew away. Minutes later, the man watched as an...

I found this: CHORUS: C F C Cecilia, you're breaking my heart F C G You're shaking my confidence daily F C F C Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees F C G I'm begging you please to...

I've been hearing Cecilia on the radio a lot lately. I've done search but it's not always the right Cecilia. Can anyone point me in the right direction for some tabs for this? Thanks

I got a little crazy with some inlay stickers. At least I can peel them away easy enough. I also would recommend the Ukulele Leash with the Button Adapter. Small, light, and works great. http://stores.ebay.com/Jockomo-InlayStickers...

OK, I know nothing about performing or the equipment they use on stage. I've notice on TV a lot of live performers are wearing these big electronic ear plugs while they sing and play. What all do those big plugs do? It looks like they are piping in more music on top of what they already have...

Ok I just got a Red K-series Eleuke Tenor, TCK-100 a few weeks ago. First off from the Eleuke web site: http://www.eleukeusa.com/ Eleuke MP3 K-series Solid Body Electric Ukulele – Red • MP3 Input, headphone output, 1/4 inch output • Ebony nut, Rosewood bridge/saddle • Aquila Strings, High...

I'm working on this song now. In Aldrine's video here: http://www.iamhawaii.com/videos/ukulele-lessons/ukulele-lessons-aldrine-lesson-6 He is using DDU UDU UDU UDU. This is the the "simple strum" for the song :eek:. After I get a consistent strum I'm going to work on the mute with the pinky...

I'm not sure who it is but the radio station is advertising him as the "Jimmy Hendricks of the Ukulele". You can listen live: http://www.wlsam.com/article.asp?id=152352 They usually don't have live music on until around 5 central if that helps on when to listen.

My new uke is about four weeks old now and it still smell like fresh cut wood and glue. My wife keeps telling me to stop smelling the ukulele :rotfl::cheers:

So I have a Korg CA-30 tuner and through some searches I have found I should have my tuner set to 440 hz. My question is what determines the hertz to tune an instrument? Thanks :)
