Boys and Girls, OMG! Attended my first Ukulele Getaway with TBUS, and it was a wild one! My cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing all weekend. My fingers hurt from the Workshops that were excellent. The entertainment/performers were top rated nationally, and the local talent on the Friday concert were just a good!
I met so many people that I'd become acquainted with on Facebook, and also got to spend the weekend with all the friends and peeps I've made in the Tampa Bay Ukulele Society. Oh man, and people were there from all over the state as well as from other states.
We met great people from Pensacola, and from Naples and Fort Meyers, and of course people trekked across from the "Other" coast, so pretty much most of Florida was represented!
On top of all that, and adding in the jamming that we all did, we were treated to a Sunday concert and Luau with Ty and his band. Hawaiian music and lots of the members got up and did the hula! LOL
Lastly, but most significantly, I, 30s Uke Girl, WON an Ohana! It is the TK 35G. Again, OMG!! I got home today, freshened up, and ran down to our friends house were a nice bbq party was ensuing. Vinny and I played Ukulele songs for them on the new Acquisition!! lol.
I will post a video soon of me playing the new Ohana! Did I mention my cheeks hurt from smiling??? Pictures coming soon! Ever, 30s Uke Girl, aka Norine Mungo
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!
