Carlsbad, the Kings and You!

Hi Everybody,

The Ocean House in Carlsbad. The Ukulele Society of America meets in the huge rotunda room. You have to see it to believe it…

Well it’s a fun time in the old town Thursday night, June 28, when my husband Craig and I are the guest artists at the Big Kanikapila! And you are invited! We will share the evening with the wild and wonderful Ukulele Society of America at the Ocean House, located at 300 Carlsbad Village Drive in Carlsbad, California, 92008. And it’s all about Kanikapila joy – food, music, hula dancing, schmoozing and lots of fun. For free! Except for food and beverages. Order dinner, appetizers, drinks (Happy Hour goes to 7:00 P.M) from the menu. I hear that some people play the uke, eat and drink at the same time. I can do that. Sloppy but fun. Read More

I wandered around New York City for eight hours, visited Maryland, Virginia and Jersey. When I was very little, the family sojourned to what was called Cape Canaveral in Florida to watch a rocket launch because my father worked for NASA. Read More
