We made music!

And we're having an Open Mic Night Thursday

The turnout Tuesday at Pelagic for Make Music Day was terrific. The weather was great, for late June. We had fun, and a few fans (human and mechanical).

I’ll post several photos and videos after I get past a little technical issue. To whet your appetite —

Open Mic approaches

Thursday, June 30, join us at the church at 7 for an Open Mic! Bring a song or three to perform for the audience, or come by to be part of the audience. It’ll be cool and comfortable indoors. See you there!

‘I can quit any time I like’

From Rick Higgens, a little quiz for you:

Uke addicted?
Ukulele Dependency Scale
Score 1 point for every "yes" answer.

1. Have you played the uke in public or in a group?
2. Do you own more than 3 ukuleles?
3. Do you own an Aloha shirt?
4. Can you name 10 ukulele brands offhand?
5. Can you name at least 2 ukulele performers by name or stage name? (*)
(*) For question 5, the performer doesn't have to be ukulele-exclusive, e.g. Elvis counts.
6. Do you know what a hygometer measures?
7. Can you name another wood that's not "oak" using only those 3 letters?
8. Do you play the uke multiple times a week?
9. Have you ever fallen asleep while holding your uke?
10. Have you ever sniffed the sound hole of a new uke?

0-3 = You are missing out on the fun!
4-6 = Very sane and normal. A casual player; might even quit after a year or 2.
6-8 = You're highly dependent. The fun will surely push you further down the path.
8-10 = You're a lifer.

Post your score in the comments below! See you Thursday!
