I have been in contact with Leilani, the lady who runs the Tulsa hula school and performances. She has made an offer to give us some instruction in how to play a Hawaiian song in the correct Hawaiian style (as opposed to a Hollywood or Broadway style).
I have a book of the songs in this style and it is arranged for the ukulele. The arrangements are, for the most part, quite easy for just about any club member to play. But playing in a true Hawaiian style could be different from what might seem natural to most of us
So if you are interested in getting to meet Leilani and get some pointers, let me know and I will see if we can set up an appropriate time and place.
When we decided that playing the uke would be fun, we really should be able to play several number in the correct style. So if you agree, contact me.
