Mark Baker Workshop

Mark Baker stopped by and delivered a great workshop on adding color to our playing and singing followed by a wonderful concert. Great playing and singing with a wonderful ukulele and top notch sound system Mark made the room a chamber of awesome sound.

He gave us many points to work on to bring us up to the next level of performing. I have intentions of implementing many of these points while we jam so it will be second nature to perform with them.

Long overdue update.

Wow we have neglected this blog.
We have been playing in the lobby of the Cancer Treatment Center (1st Thursday of the month).
We have been doing our club open mic at NYC Pizza (2nd Thursdays of the month). We have been jamming at Burgundy Place the remaining thursdays of the month. Unless special occasions arise.
As has happened tonight where we will be playing at The Broadmoor Retirement facility.

We've played the Olio at the Spotlight Theater a few times.
A few of us have played at the Coffee Bunker.
A few have played in Claremore at She Brews Coffee House.
A few have made several trips to Stillwater for Open Mic night.

Last summer a select group played multiple shows for the CAP preschool program in the Tulsa area and are preparing to do it again in the summer of 2018.

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.

University Village Sing Along.

Tonight at University Village we will perform our sing along songs for the residents. Lyrics will be projected for the residents to be able to sing along.

9 Feb 2017 Open Mic

We have change the 9 Feb 2017 meeting location to  Burgundy Place.

One item discussed at lor most recent ukulele meeting was the level of activity the group wanted during this holiday season,

We decided that we did want to continue to have weekly meetings through the remaining three Thursdays in December.  We recognize that there will be days that folks will be busy with holiday activities and the attendance might be a bit lower than normal, but that on balance, we should continue to meet.

So plan on the club meeting the rest of the month at our regular time but for December (and likely continuing into next year) at the Burgundy Place retirement facility (89th and S. Lewis).

Hope you can make it.
