Like a Vag.

Ukuladies/laddies!

Sharee did update the blog from last weeks meeting but for some reason its not showing up on my computer. can anyone else see it/not see it? if not here's another update from last week, so if you can see both, awesome!


Tomorrows meeting January 31st  is going to be in the main lobby are of the Emergency Arts building, (near the zine Library)

Last week the group met at one of the members houses, we haven't decided if this is going to be a regular thing or not but for now the tentative plan is to alternate between houses and the Emergency Arts. So if you've never been to a meet make sure you come on a week that we're at the EA or you wont know where to go! :)

We practiced all our songs to date and added a new song last week. The famous rendition and medley of  Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World  by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole.  A Classic every Uke player must have under their belt.

The link below also provides some great video instruction too. Pay special attention to the strumming pattern! Remember that little metaphor from last week if you're having trouble with your strumming. *wink*

Chords/insturction

I can't remember the other new song we learned... Ill make a note to start taking notes at the meetings!

Second Meet-up

Some Serious 'UkeFace' Going on here.

Last night (Jan 17th) No Ka Oi had its second get together, this time in the lounge area of the emergency arts building. With a new member (a ukuladdie!) and some spectators we needed a little more room to strum. It was great playing in public, with people walking around us smiling (cause who can't smile at a group of ukulele players!?)

We are getting really good at "we are gonna be friends" by the white stripes and the group decided it would be our go to song to play when we get new members because its easy. Also its super cute to sing a song about friendship together. For the Chords to this song, please see our first post.
