I thought it might be a good idea to create a thread devoted to the ooka-lelly, so that we Ook-a-teers can stay in the loop.

Here's one to start things off:

Clogger and I were talking about just this thing...that we needed an ukulele thread! Great minds think alike, huh?

I saw one of these Vox electric ukuleles when I was in Gracewinds Music this afternoon. It wasn't in white like the one below, which is the one that I prefer:

This is definitely going on my ooka-lelly wishlist. Does anyone remember that teardrop shaped Vox guitar that Brian Jones played?

Here it is again -- the Vox Ukelectric:

I need one. And a reso uke. And a banjo uke. And...you know, everything else! We definitely needed the uke thread though!

I was introduced to this lovely song at last Friday's Corvallis Ukulele Cabaret, which was literally SRO -- our biggest turnout yet.

It's a little scruffy but we'll clean it up and make it sound and play good! We are still working on a name.

We haven't named
it yet....Been so busy it seems. We are in the midst of getting our summer shows put together so that will keeps us out of trouble for a while!
Anyhow, here is a link of Jeff Lynne and George Harrison playing Banjo Ukes...aka Banjoleles;
(scroll ahead to the 2:00 mark to see them playing the ukes)

vadoghouseman: Hey there MCR Chatters, Is anything happening with future MCR programs? Makes one wonder how something could drop a big monkey wrench into MCR and stop everything. Nov 11, 2018 19:38:57 GMT -5

cloggercass: VA, seems like Chef posted something about the MCR situation earlier this year. I think he ran into Jim L or Craig...Maybe? Anyhow, he said that MCR IS going to come back and for us to be patient. However, I agree. It is frustrating. Nov 12, 2018 22:50:02 GMT -5
