Hi all,
Congratulations on looking after each other! The last 8 weeks have been hard (and sad for many), no doubt about it, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
AND SPRING IS HERE!
If you need some ukulele inspiration and company on Tuesday evenings from 6-7:30, the Yarra YUkers continue to meet up to chat and sing. You can find us on Zoom. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Funimelb.zoom.us%2Fj%2F93231212559%3Fpwd%3DOWZ1UVBNUEoyYytGYVFBYUNWSmxKQT09%26fbclid%3DIwAR17Fc9CvTVeKWJymObmxru9LK4miWj-qhsISkmbWVMZUVAZLDSPBw0ePJo&h=AT2Dn82seHv7BFihfoFfLrsTQKXOI5POMw04ccSDfF8sbsmYQzgm-1hSMDXaK_OYGqb7CE71OgEGEenu636p2SLU8_srw-ZsckWdiwT66oA6RcR9MeTSeuRYemk26avFSA&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT0oXuA5qtH31XEgLfhlOoiWOkVfpEdlCIovAZ9PnFC2MLzinDJpntdX-II_iI_AuNJqB8E3829Wg0MDeqADOqtdZfrwU7q8pYhxqxKsLiaS-dUJzwCRXg_uUXrvXgEIyZsnVmArs4AFlxo7I50qIL4GeX2gA5BDntb68LFezO0fwEdkSkI
You can find some of the new songs that we are trying out if you flip over to the MUSIC page. You might want to have a play and seek them out on YouTube if you haven’t heard them for a while. Join us for a sing & a play!
(I have to admit I’ve also uploaded Dumb Ways to Die and Don’t Look Twice just because the former popped up on my desk as the used side of a recycled-paper note pad I’m using. It’s such a cute song! And Dylan’s first love song – Don’t Look Twice – has the same chord structure. So you get two for one!)
You can see what we’re up to and random ukulele goodies if you tune into our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/yarrayukers/ and keep an eye on (and join in with) the chatter.
While we’ve been in isolation, we have kept busy by producing videos. If you haven’t yet been involved or seen them, check them out at the Great Big Ukes youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh8t-FJIHimJtc57qLiy6B9VZwTDRdoRt
At the moment, we are casting about for our next song to produce for the October Virtual KLUB MUK (Melbourne’s ukulele open mic hosted by the Melb Uke Kollective and produced monthly on Facebook). You can review September’s KLUB MUK efforts @ https://www.facebook.com/events/1200342400320391/?active_tab=discussion Make sure you come along and enjoy the next. Better yet, get involved with our next production for a lockdown project!
Until we’re all strumming together again in a sunny park, keep safe and keep well!
