I think everyone had a good time last night at the Open Mike at the pizza shop. There were some great songs and good performances, including a milestone for our group -- Kay performed a Hawaiian love song in Hawaiian. Not being a linguist myself, this was really impressive.
Also of note were two folks joining us for the first time, Glenn Gosley and Terry Pitts (from Bartlesville). Let's all give a big welcome to them.
I hope that the videos the Rex was taking will turn out good for they could be a good addition to our club YouTube Channel.
Lets also give thanks to Rex for the mike and amp setup and to Cap'n for starting this element of our club's activities. It takes some effort to do this so recognition is welcomed.

Open mike night
Here is a big thanks to Rex for setting up his equipment for last night's open mike. I really liked the setup at that end of the room, and the UkeFarm music feed until we started playing was excellent too.
Thanks again

A concert idea
Now we may not have the skill levels of the concert performers at this particular concert in British Columbia, but we could do something like this -- tie in a concert with our group playing, with a charity. The charity, and the host facility -- say a church -- have extensive contacts and could bring out a good crowd.
Anyone want to take on this community project?

Thursday's meeting
We had a nice evening at the pizza shop. Tieu showed up with an instrument and played very well -- he is in the class being held at Saied Music. Phillip and his wife
Sara also showed. Phillip is another of the multi-instrument men who have recently picked up the ukulele and are enjoying the fun. Welcome all.

Meeting this Thursday
This coming Thursday will be our first meeting in August.
As usual, it is useful to keep things going if everyone has preselected some numbers to play. If you have one you want to learn, that would be a good choice too.
I see that there are a number of folks being mentioned in our FaceBook pages as newcomers, so please welcome them, one and all.
See you Thursday at the pizza shop.
