Get in touch

Can I mention that we all play in a group led by Cali Rose in Culver City and she is just amazing! She writes great ukulele charts and we adore her! Thanks Cali.

I also get inspiration from Dolly Parton. I’ve always loved her. But I recently heard a couple quotes I also like: “If you have a pulse you have a purpose.“ and “Don’t let the noise drown out your joy.”

These are hard times. I began this year asking our group (all in our 70s and 80s) if we still wanted to keep going.  I got a resounding YES from everyone.  We still have several gigs a month at various churches, senior centers, farmers markets, etc… and sometimes only 2 or 3 of us show up.  But like you said—just showing up is what counts.  So, we will continue to play and sing and hope for better times to come.  Keep up the good work.  You are an inspiration to us all.

Today, your video of “Goody Goody” inspired me to contact you. You are really really good and your groups are beyond fortunate to have you as a teacher and a leader.

You are always very generous about congratulating us for what we do in our community with ukulele. But, please keep in mind, that all of this, my friend, is your legacy. These people are all playing and enjoying ukulele and spreading the joy thanks to your kindness, your talent, your leadership.
