Aloha Kakou ~

Well ,the Fest For Beatles Fans and the world record attempt came and went. If anyone reading this attending, then you know how much fun we all had. And though we didn't set a new world record for the Largest Ukulele Ensemble, we did 'something new' at the Fest which made it extra special....audience participation, playing ukuleles with the Fest guests! It was awesome! See it on YouTube! Hey, we'll try for the record next year!

Needless to say, I had a blast especially with my sister Glenda and granddaughter Vidtoria who came to attend from Honolulu! Victoria 'stole' many hearts and was quite the center of attention. You can see photos from the Fest at my Facebook Photo Albums. Go to:

Members from our Ukulele meetup group who perform out play under this name, The Harrison Street Ukulele Players. So, we did a smashing job at the Fest's Battle of the Beatles Bands playing "Eight Days A Week"! Though we didn't win (the winner got $1000 and a Blockbuster appearance to play at the Beatles Rock Band Release Party Event), we still got noticed by the PR firm handling this event which WXRT will be hosting too! THEY WANT US TOO!

TUESDAY - SEP. 8
8PM - 12:30AM
WXRT will be there.
Prizes! Refreshments.
(We go on between 9PM-10PM!)

Beatles fun continues! See you there or at one of our Thursday night meetups at Eastgate Cafe'!

Aloha & Mahalo
