Aloha All,

Hope you all are making it safely through this new storm.

Well, we’re back at the UFOHQ this Friday, 7p-10p. BYPotluck. Btw, mahalo to all who brought those healthy and tasty main dishes. BYOGear (music stands in particular we’re good on chairs), and always, enough Aloha to share with your ‘Ohana. Click here for Friday Images.

After a day in Sonoma why not spend a Jurassic Evening in Fairfax with our Friends (or other Dinosaurs?) celebrating Cindy’s Significant Birthday. See below for details please RSVP if you will be attending . . .

 

I have some sad news from our ‘Ohana Members. Akua has summoned two of our Ukulele Pilots . . .

Please send your Aloha and Malama Ponos to UFOhana Member Sharon Searles who lost her husband, Stanley recently. That’s Sharon and Stanley below at Sleeping Lady.

Me ke Aloha Pumehana Sharon . . . our thoughts are with you.

And Gilles Arnoux . . . from the Petaluma Ukulele Group. Pictured below at one of our Friday Kanikapila of December 2010.

Bon ami adieu Gilles . . .

We are all so fortunate to have met you both along the way.

Storms gives way to light,
‘Aina exhales a moist sigh,
Clouds dance in Blue Skies.

Malama Pono Kakou!

Aloha All,

Hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day.

Well I decided to give my sciatica a break and not haul any music gear all over town. I think digging a 50′ trench, repairing fences, hauling sand bags and cleaning the living room and bedroom carpet has finally taken it’s toll on my back. So we’ll be gathering at UFO HQ this Friday, 7p-10p, BYPotLuck (a main dish or Salad), BYOGear (music stands, etc.) and Aloha of course. Saturday will be at the HQ as well 2p-4p, BYOBS (Beverage and Snacks).

Speaking of snacks or finger foods, I’d like to share the following from Brudda Wally (and Craig Scheiner) . . .

Mahalo Wally! Btw, how did you know??????

Btw, Mahalo to the UFOhana for helping the Elks raise $1200 that night for the Veterans Support Groups. Mahalo to the Elk-ders for hosting us and allowing us to participate in this important event.

And for those of  you that can’t get enough of “it” here’s a Kani that’s hosted by Kathy Quain at Bananas At Large on 4th Street . . .

Kathy also has other music events and teaches Ukulele as well. She can be reached at:

And finally, check out this vintage Comic Cover with Pat Boone playing an ‘Ukulele! Judging from the design, it looks almost like a Kala Tenor Travel Uke?

Tall green lawns reaching,
Sun turns water into clouds,
Continuously . . . 

Alright, time to get ready for the next storm. Stay dry and be well everyone. Let’s pray for the folks out at Oroville, keep that damn dam in one piece!
