Do you hear this sometimes? Or even say it yourself? “There aren’t enough hours in the day, by golly.” Or “So much to do and so little time.”
Well today is your lucky day! That is if you live in one of the states that slides the clock back one hour to standard time. Around here, in our cozy condo treehouse, I’m using that extra sixty minutes to clear my desk. I mean REALY clear my desk. And then hubby, Craig Brandau, and I are going to rehearse for something pretty darn exciting that happens next Sunday, November 10, 2013: The “Fall for Ukulele” Mini-Festival at Island Bazaar in Huntington Beach, CA (that’s Surf City to the rest of the world).
They have invited us to be part of their first ever festival. Craig and I will be sharing the day with Sarah Maisel who is one hot jazzer and the incomparable Bryan Tolentino who brings his aloha spirit all the way from O’ahu. And Shirley Orlando, the mistress of teaching and owner of this musical oasis of joy, will show us “flutters and flourishes” on the ukulele!
Admission includes workshops all day, a catered lunch, a big fat wonderful ukulele strum along and an evening concert that will be spectacular. Tickets are going fast. If you live in Southern California, or know someone who does, please pass this along.
The ukulele is red hot these days. For so many reasons. Here’s one: It’s called the People’s Instrument. Why? Because almost everyone can learn to play a little and make happy. For themselves AND others.
So, please join us for plenty of “make happy” next Sunday. And don’t forget to make happy today. We get a whole extra hour of it…
