Hello folks, as you know, the Tampa Bay Ukulele Society has become quite large! Yay! Given that, we are finding that we also cover a huge territory, taking in all of the Tampa area, as well as the St Pete peninsula which goes from about Tarpon Springs down to the tip of the Skyway Bridge.
I have volunteered to guide the Tampa side in a consistent jam on the 3rd Saturday of each month going forward. These will be in South Tampa, right near the Gandy Bridge, making it accessible from both sides of the bay. There are several locations in the gated community that I live in for the jams, including right out by the water, as well as a club house that I will look into for larger jams. This is an over 55 park and I will also invite the community that lives here to join us with their Ukuleles and or to just listen.
We start the kick off this Saturday, the 20th at 2 pm. Going forward, I may have to move it to 3 pm as I have work next month on that Saturday. But the Doctor I work for is very helpful and will have me out on time for the August one. After that, we should be able to keep it earlier. I will always be willing to do the jam after the jam as well, for those who want to stick around and go into greater detail, as in the number charts etc.
For RSVP and to get directions and the gate code, please email me at 30sukegirl@gmail.com and I will email back the numbers. You will need the gate code to get in, but the address is 4851 West Gandy Blvd, Tampa, Florida 33611
Looking forward to seeing you there! Starts at 2 PM
A place where you can find all things Ukulele. Sites with songs and chords, Local Jams, Ukulele Product Sites, Festivals and Venues
What is a 30's Uke Girl up to these days??
- 30s Uke Girl
- I’m a lifelong musician, been writing songs since I was 16. And, they got better with time and practice. Everything gets better with practice! As a wise man once said, “Don’t practice till you get it right, practice till you can’t get it wrong!” I love teaching ukulele, and also teaching voice and of course, songwriting. A song is nothing more than a story, and if you sing it as if it were a play, then you are using your voice correctly. If you write it as if it were a play, you engage the listeners. And bonus, if you use an instrument as an extension of your feelings, you can make the song soar. I intend to use this blog for the promotion of my ukulele passion, to introduce performers, review instruments, luthiers, and give links to great UKE websites. I also will keep links to festivals, events, and clubs. My other passion is biographical content, and I’ll be adding many of those, especially about the early artists from the 20s 30s 40s. A lost treasure trove of talent. Hope you enjoy the varied content. It will be eclectic, like me!
