It’s time for another Outdoor Get-Together!

What: Strum along to “Three Little Birds,” “Ring of Fire,” “Stand By Me,” “Eight Days a Week,” “On the Road Again,” “(All I Have to Do Is) Dream,” “Don’t Fence Me In,” “All of Me,” “What a Wonderful World” (Louis Armstrong, Iz, etc), and “Wonderful World” (Sam Cooke).   You’ll find them all right here, and print them out, at our Ukulele Music Library.

When: Thursday, May 26th; 7:00p-8:30p

Where: Triangle Park (south side of the park, on the grass, near the podium/stage) – it’s between Guadalupe & N. Lamar and 46th & 47th Street – please Google map “Triangle Park Austin” and zoom in – it works!

As we’ll be outside, there will not be a projector.  Please bring printed song sheets.  Bring a picnic blanket or a chair, too, if you like!  Feel free to bring snacks/drinks – and don’t forget some insect repellent!

We’ll plan to meet at the Community Room at Central Market, as usual, on the second Tuesday of June (6/14) at 7:00pm – watch for more information.

Our May 10 meeting was a hit–we had a great turnout and lots of enthusiasm. But let’s allow Bob to describe it:

Thanks to everyone who came to our May meeting Tuesday night and made it another big success. Our group sing-alongs sound better, sweeter and more confident every time we meet! A special greetings to the first-timers who joined in — we hope to see you again!

Bravo to those who played and sang a solo number. It’s a thrill to see how much ukulele talent there is in Austin. Thanks for sharing!

There are rumors circulating of yet another outdoor Austin Ukulele Society meeting sometime very soon, so keep your eyes peeled for a note from Jen about that.

Our next monthly meeting will be Tuesday June 14th at 7:00pm. We’ll be sending out a reminder and posting on our blog and FB page. 

As always, it’s a pleasure to play with you all.

We’ll be announcing any upcoming meetings here, so stay tuned. We hope to convene another outdoor sing-&-play-along, but where and when are still being considered; we’ll let you know about it as soon as we do.

Our May meeting will be–as always–at Central Market North’s Community Room at 7 – 8:30 p.m., on Tuesday, May 10. We hope to see you there.

We’ll be strumming and singing two “Wonderful World”s– first Sam Cooke’s “Wonderful World,” (“Don’t know much about history…”) and then Louis Armstrong’s (and Iz’s) “What a Wonderful World.” We’ll also be singing the Beatles classic “Hey Jude.”

Download ’em now and try ’em out.

Our first Evening in Triangle Park on Thursday, April 28 was a big success. It didn’t hurt that the weather was perfect. But let’s have Bob tell us:

What a great night! Beautiful weather, 25 ukuleles being strummed, appreciative passers-by, and a bunch of fun songs to play. What’s not to like? We’ll definitely see if we can’t squeeze in one more outdoor meeting before it gets too hot. Thanks to everyone who came — and a special shout out to the first-timers who joined in. Welcome!

As Bob said, we hope to organize another outdoor get-together soon, so watch this space, and our Facebook page, for more information. Please don’t forget to suggest any songs you’d like to see (and hear) us sing by dropping us a line (austinukes@gmail.com) or sending us your comments.

Our next monthly meeting will be Tuesday, May 10th at 7:00pm at our usual spot, the Community Room at the Central Market on North Lamar. See you then!

It’s a small collection, yeah, but we now have a Ukulele Music Library, for the basic lyrics-&-chords sheets we use (and project) at our meetings. From now on, you’ll always be able to find them in one place, and we will be adding more of them as we select ’em for subsequent meetings.

On Thursday, come over to the Triangle to play some uke. Jen sez:

Friendly reminder:
