We’re fortunate to have a wonderful ukulele festival here in Texas. It’s the Lone Star Ukulele Festival, and it’ll be held, for its third year, on April 7 – 9, 2011 (Thursday through Saturday) in Dallas. If you want to take some great classes, hear some really good music from performers you don’t usually get a chance to experience, and get the opportunity to try out a lot of different ukes at the vendors’ stalls, this is the place to go.

The theme is “Bach to Texas with Aloha.” Visit the site to learn why, and to register. We hope to see you there. —by Walter
