Blue Uke
Blue Uke 6:30-7:45pm Thursday April 2 Fee: $20 suggested donation
The workshop will cover fingerpicking melodies and accompaniment on blues repertoire suitable for the ukulele. In this class, you will get an introduction to right hand fingerpicking, what makes a melody "blue," and songs from 1920s giants like Charlie Jordan and Barbecue Bob . Ukulele students should be at an intermediate level -- familiar with basic chords and able to keep time. Audio recorders encouraged.
To reserve a space for the concert or the songwriting or ukulele workshops, please send an email indicating which sessions you plan to attend to: info@acousticblues.com.

FREE Beginners Workshop AND Jam Session!
Greetings Ukulele Club Members,
This gathering will be BOTH a FREE Beginners Workshop AND a Jam Session held at a FABULOUS upscale restaurant, Popolo’s Cafe! But fear not: Kathy negotiated a great package that will allow us to sample a champagne meal at a beer budget:
We had such a great turn out at the FREE Beginners Ukulele Workshop last month, that we are going to CONTINUE with the Key of “G”. Last class we focused on the Key of “C”.
If you are a BEGINNER and did not attend the last workshop – no problem.
Before you leave THIS CLASS you will be strumming!
So come and join us.
WHO: The Workshop will be lead by none other than, Mark "Twang" Levine, who is the creator and founder of Dallas Ukulele Headquarters. Mark is self taught and has been playing for some 10 years. Known for his humor and Ukulele jokes, Mark really puts the "FUN FACTOR" into learning Ukulele.
WHERE: PoPoLos Café - 5959 Royal Lane, Dallas
(in the Preston Royal Shopping Center
at the corner of Preston Road and Royal Lane)

The location is a private room – Popolo’s is charging us NOTHING to use their fine facility ALL TO OURSELVES when the restaurant is actually CLOSED to the public! Please say thank you to the restaurant by purchasing a drink and/or an entrée – Or, of course, multiple drinks!
Select one Entrée when you RSVP to attend. Please RSVP your menu selection no later than Thursday, April 16th, so PoPoLos can have meals on hand.
