TULSA UKULELE CLUB: October 2017

Welcome to the Tulsa Ukulele Club Website

Welcome to the Tulsa Ukulele Club website. We are a group of people of all ages who enjoy playing the ukulele. We welcome every level of player from beginner to professional. We play a wide variety of music, as diverse as our membership. Right now, if you come to one of our meetings you are going to hear a lot of old time standards, country, folk and blues, possibly some Gospel, but we are welcome to new influences.

While our emphasis is on ukuleles, we welcome other instruments too. Bring your harmonica or guitar and of course, a kazoo is always welcome.

We are a family oriented organization and encourage the entire family to attend, even the little guys, so long as they do not disrupt the meeting. Watch this site for special announcements for meetings when we will be offering free beginner's ukulele lessons.

We have been evaluating several alternative sites for our meetings. Watch the blog postings below for the latest meeting place. At this time (10-17) we are meeting in the lobby of the Cancer Center of America in the first Thursday, have an Open Mike Night and jam on the second Thursday at Burgundy Place and the other Thursdays are jams at Burgundy Place or some other location. Check the blog, the web page or contact us for latest plans.

Thank you for visiting our Blog. You will also find a lot of useful links for songs and instruction material in the Handy Links section on the right side of the page.

We also have a web page that contains a lot of the songs in our song book -- see https://sites.google.com/site/tulsaukuleleclub/

We also have a YouTube channel and a Facebook page ("Tulsa Uke Club").

Please contact us if you have any questions at tulsaukes@gmail.com.

Rex and I have been talking about our club and where it is and where it might be going and we decided on preparing a mission statement. Here is our current effort

Ukulele Strumming on Route 66

Operated by Ralph Kelley (founder) and Rex Powell (music director) the

Tulsa Ukulele Club brings the opportunity to those who wish to join the

joy of ukulele playing.  We mostly gather to play ukuleles in a jam

session setting but sometime venture out to perform. We have a monthly

in house Open Mic Night for those who wish to play solo or duet (or more)

arrangements.  Although our meetings aren't instructional we welcome and

will assist any skill level. We welcome and encourage all skill levels to

attend and grow.

We had a nice small group for the sing-a-long at University Village 10-20-17. This is a nice place to play and the residents are super nice.
