We get into our routines, don’t we? Hubby likes to wake up super early, check his Facebook page and head to the local hole watering here in Culver City for coffee. Sometimes even before the sun comes up. The Roll ‘n Rye is his home away from home and the waitresses take good care of him. Sometimes he’ll report back later with a sterling tidbit about the morning. Like this…
The deli is post-holiday crowded as a little girl emerges from the bathroom with mommy in tow. She throws up her arms and announces, “I just went pee-pee!!!” She’s not holding back, this one. It’s a “shout out” and she might as well be telling the world she just won the lottery.
To tell you the truth, I often feel like doing the same thing since peeing is one of my favorite things to do, and why not share the joy? But alas I surrender to social custom and keep the excitement to myself.
Well, speaking of Shout Outs…
It’s a new year and I’m jumping back into the TEACHING thing… I think with the same gusto as our little “pee-er.”
My four-week workshop “Ukulele For Beginners” begins January 18, 2014, 11:00 to noon at Boulevard Music in Culver City, California. We meet consecutive Saturdays and start at the very beginning. You’ll be singing and playing a song the first day. Here is the flyer with all the shout out info.
Beginning February 15, from 12:30 to 1:30 P.M., I am teaching an ONGOING Ukulele Workshop, also at Boulevard Music. More tips and tunes, chords, strum patterns, finger-picking and nifty tricks on the ukulele. Sign up for four classes as a time. The ukulele is a joy, especially when we play with other people.
The CC Strummers, my ukulele group at the Culver City Senior Center, is a magnet for new players, new friendships and glorious fun. We have grown so much that they moved us to a bigger room. Classes meet twice a week, Mondays, 3:30 to 4:30 P.M. and Thursdays 10:00 to 11:00 A.M. We do rock and roll, swing and country music, Latin flavored songs, Hawaiian gems and songs in five languages. Because we can…
It was standing-room-only at our “Holiday Ukulele Show Spectacular” last month. Click here to see our snazzy version of “Chantilly Lace” on YouTube. It’s one minute of rock n’ roll fun.
I also offer SKYPE UKULELE LESSONS and let me tell you, this is so cool. It feels like we’re in the same room and learning from each other. I love doing this. Lessons are only $30 for an hour. Please email me so we can make arrangements for a lesson. You can use my website to pay via PayPal.
So here’s a toast to the New Year. For all of us. Pee happy!
