Hello All,

Hope this finds you all well. I’m fighting a summer cold but sleeping all afternoon has definitely helped.

We’re at the UFOHQ this Friday. Run time 7p – ??p, BYPotLuck, BYGear (Music Stand and maybe a chair) and don’t forget to bring some extra Aloha to share with your Ohana.

Saturday Kanikapila will be at the San Rafael Joe’s on 4th street. We’ll be in meeting room right next door. Run time 2p-4p, BYOGear and BYO$$$ as you may want to consider having a meal at Joe’s. The foods great and it’s a good show of support to our Hosts!

Also this Saturday, I’m holding an Ukulele Workshop at UFOHQ, 10a-12p. We’ll be concentrating on solo techniques for some of our favorite songs, chord embellishments, moveable chord concepts, and strumming techniques. Recommended for beginning Intermediate, but always open to anyone willing to learn, cost is $15. Bring your flight manuals!

Speaking of Saturdays, I want to thank the JCC Away Team for a great “Lobby Band” performance last Saturday at the JCC Hapa Concert. You may already have heard that Linda Bolt, the special events director, says we were very well received by the audience. Below are images from that event (click image to access online Album) . . .
