Kind words and reviews
— Ukulele Player, Aug 2009
“Cali, it is so fine. The arrangements, the mixing, the production level, not to mention your gorgeous vocal sound and the ukulele playing. Just excellent. All the work you did month after month — it’s all there. What I like more is that you deliver what you promised. All the songs make one smile; they tickle and tease. This is what you wanted to do. Make us smile.”
— Victor B.
“…a sweet and simple joy to listen to. What an uplifting array of music and lyric. I am so impressed with your originals, your poetry, singing, and with your ukulele playing! It’s a first class production, and I wish you all the success that you have merited in the sales and distribution.”
— Emerson P.
“…the consistency I’ve heard in the songs are in the ‘spirit’ you successfully impart to your music. Music is rightfully comprised of several facets much beyond notes, chords and arrangements and I especially enjoy how I feel when I listen to your music.” [Kimo Hussey]
— Ukulele master Kimo Hussey
“We fully appreciate your lovely renditions, plus you really transfer your unique touch to the instrument as it sings along with your vocals!”

Joseph
Really no tabs? For sale or otherwise? I think you have missed a market for your style of Ukulele playing?

Hi Joseph and yeah, I am not a tab gal. My ukulele ethos is very intuitive and somewhat contrarian to the standard approach these days. But I do share my approach in one of my intermediate classes. I want players to understand “why” notes and chords and strums fit together so they can come up with their own arrangements. Thanks for asking about this.
