2019 CCAE uke-along on Brattle St Cambridge |
https://www.meetup.com/BostonUke/events/263868197/
from Danno's post: DetailsOur annual hullabaloo. Let's make a public spectacle of ourselves as we work through a few dozen ukulele favorites. Open to all players, all friends, and, well, just all. We'll have paper song-sheets available day-of, and a PDF download ahead of time (coming soon). NEW! Pre-Jam Mini-Class for Brand New Beginners Danno sez: I completely forgot that CCAE had suggested this and I agreed -- if you need a little encouragement and a few ukulele basics, this is a 30 minute quick intro so you can play along -- NO EXCUSES NOW! [4:00, just before the jam. Register here: https://ccae.org/classes/offering/2668/pre-jam-uke-lesson-for-beginners] |

The street next to Whole Foods is Bartlett Ave. Our location will be on the asphalt of Windermere Lane adjacent to 60 Bartlett Ave. If you arrive at or before 11:30pm, before we set up chairs, there will be five parking spaces available on the lane. |

The PDF to the left shows you how to play Happy Birthday in many keys. There are three chords, and depending on the range of your singers, you should adapt and play along. If you can remember the C-G7-F and G-D7-C combinations, you should be all set for almost any audience and celebration.
