Beginner Ukulele Hints and Helps Group on Facebook

Hello fellow Ukers, 
I finally figured out how to get back into my blog. Not an easy feat apparently,  when your computer is on the fritz. 

Happy to say,  I've figured it out on my phone and next I will try the iPad.  Ok,  so,  you're getting the idea that I'm not a teen,  nor young adult.  That's right,  30s Uke Girl is ancient in a child's eye,  but let me tell you,  I'm still pretty savvy.  Hahaha. 

My information today is on a group that I started about 6 to 7 years ago,  on Facebook,  called Beginner Ukulele Hints and Helps.  It started out with about 80 folks,  mostly local,  and was a place for beginners and professional performers to meet and interact.   Beginners post questions and videos,  then peers and professional instructors give feedback. 

Let me tell you about the last 4 months.  We've been growing steadily over 6 years till about 5 months ago,  when we hit 1k members.  I was like,  whoah,  so happy to see so many artists,  luthiers,  bloggers,  providing so much info,  and many many beginners joining and learning. 

In the last 4 months,  we've toppled over 2k and daily growth,  as of last night,  2300 members. 

It's the quarantine!!! Everyone is buying Ukuleles,  and they are eager and hungry for knowledge.  And,  with so many professionals out of work,  festivals canceled,  workshops canceled,  I'm more than happy to let them post links to their patreon pages,  and websites,  to generate funds.  Even more thrilled at how they are engaging the beginners,  with how to's  and recommends. 

I'm going to be posting a lot more content on this blog now,  and cleaning up the site,  as far as festival dates e.t.c.  and I hope to find and bring you tons of info about great sites,  awesome performers,  and cool clubs. Heck,  we're all under quarantine till who knows when.  Right?? So,  I've no excuses to not brighten your Ukulele Day!!!

So,  back to  the subject at hand,  whether you're a professional or a beginner,  go check out Beginner Ukulele Hints and Helps  on Facebook.  You'll be glad you did.  Make sure you answer all the questions when you request to be a member.  Makes it easier for me as admin. 

Ever Strumming,
