The Free Love Circus musicians, Brian and Chris, did sound for me and the four sets I did on the Youth Stage at the Mateel Fest last weekend, and then right after each set, played for their own show. These guys and their act were amazing. Their families are in the show too, and they've toured around the world. Check out their website, freelovecircus.com, and watch for them in your area!
Chris plays a steel-front ukulele---the steel helps amplify the sound--- and he introduced me to A minor on it.
An Indie Musician's notes and comments about her journeys in the world of performing, recording, and song-sharing, particularly for children of all ages. Kid songs in the Key of Life! Upcoming focus: talk about her new children's radio show. Description: Mary Poppins and her new bff Tia Melinda (Aunt Melinda), meet Mr. Rogers in the neighborhood and they're joined by some Buffalo Gals and a Salty Dog. Everyone is welcome and a good time is had by all!

The Ukulele Social Club
Just how far into the wacky world of ukuleles can one go? I keep getting lured in further...Up pops this site for "The Ukulele Social Club", and into it I plunge. Signed up and everything.
It's just so darn cute....and so playable! Did you know "ukulele" comes from the Hawaiian words "jumping flea"?
Makes you want to run out and get one, huh? So what instrument are you learning? Or which one do you imagine yourself playing?
