The Ukulele Crew season recap
Another awesome season for The Ukulele Crew. The strummers performed at ten events including twice at VillageFest in downtown Palm Springs and at The Palms at La Quinta, Assisted Living and Memory care facility. New members were welcomed throughout the season and goodbyes were said to several members who had been with the group for many years. New songs were added to the playlist and players worked on challenging strumming techniques. Several players stepped up to do Take Over solos and The Crew was joined by singers, lead by Janice Henry, who elevated the songs with their good voices and harmonies. New players and singers are invited to join the 2024 - 2025 season in November. The Crew meets every Saturday, 1:00 - 2:00 for beginners, who will play three songs by the end of their first one - hour lesson. After that session, All - Play meets for all levels to practice the season ’ s playlists at 2:00 - 4:00. Wednesday practices are for all levels at 2:00 - 4:00. New players can purchase on Amazon, The Daily Ukulele Songbook, 365 Songs for Better Living by Jim Beloff. It ’ s about $30. Buy either the digital edition or the large format print edition. The small, camping edition, is too hard to read. Check the Daily Planner in the fall for updated information or contact Marilyn at marilyn.sabens@gmail.com
