It is mid summer here in Tulsa and as usual it is pretty warm. But that is not holding us back in terms of participation.
We just completed an eight week program with the Tulsa School District to provide some entertainment to the 2 to 4 year old children in their CAP program for children living in conditions classified as poverty. We played and sang the ABC, Twinkle, Twinkle and similar songs, getting them involved. A lot of fun for us, and a nice break for the kids.
And we are now a routine act in the Olio portion of the Drunkard show at the Spotlight theater.
Our regular Thursday evening jams continue, most of the time at the Burgundy Place retirement village, we are continuing to give the residents and guests in the Cancer Center of America lobby some entertainment, and we are continuing our open mike nights and jams at the NYC Pizza shop. Occasionally a retirement facility requests some entertainment and these special events help make our programs for the Tulsa ukulele world pretty busy.
Come and join us.
This is the blogsite of The Tulsa Ukulele Club, the Route 66 ukulele club. The Tulsa Ukulele Club is a group of musicians who meet regularly to enjoy a wide range of music featuring the ukulele in a prominent position.
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.
