Our October meeting was led by our talented Cuties, Jacqueline and Harvey. They alternated their presence with songs like “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “The Show”.

Jacqueline shared her “chucking” techniques and impressed us all with her beautiful voice.

Harvey charmed the group by introducing each song in his mellow story-telling style before leading us all in songs with his wonderful carefree smile.

Between Jacqueline and Harvey, we got to play a good selection of traditional and contemporary songs. We applaud them for their talent, kindness and generosity!

Many Cuties stepped up to the plate and contributed their talent to the mix. Brian and Gill performed the funny song, “Boney Fingers”.

Brenda was volunteered by a Cutie to play one of the golden oldies, “It’s a Heartache,” despite having a cold. She was a good sport indeed.

Gill, Harvey, Leone and Jen strummed out “Save the Last Dance for Me”.

Brian joined us at the front and did one of the all-time-favorites, “Country Roads”.

Jacqueline, Jen and Tom chose “This Land is Your Land” before Brian and Jen performed the hurting song, “Tear in My Beer”!

Lorraine even shared an anecdote with us!

We are grateful to all who brought snacks to share and for the very good turn-out of Cuties, given that it was, after all, a Thanksgiving Sunday afternoon!

We are very happy to announce that our good friends, Gary Cyr and Ron Usher, have agreed to make a special appearance at our first regular song circle on September 14. Gary will be leading the circle while Ron will be keeping all of us in sync by playing the bass!

We will be using the White Rock Ukulele Circle song books. Please bring your copies if you have them. Our other good friend, Braden Deans, will bring extra song books for new Cuties to purchase at only $15 for each volume.

A big thank-you goes to Braden, Gary and Ron for their exceptional generosity and dedication to the ukulele community!

See you there!

We are thrilled to announce that our first meeting will be on July 8, 2014. To kick-start this momentous event, we will be celebrating with a potluck. In fact, we have invited the world-renowned ukulele master, Kimo Hussey to conduct two workshops and a concert. Ukulele players of all ages and levels are welcome. Come join us and help shape the direction and development of this brand new group.

We are a group of ukulele enthusiasts living in the TriCities area (and beyond) who would like to share the joy of ukulele with our community. It all started when we met at our weekly picnic group talking about ukuleles. Since the summer of 2012, our group grew and more and more of us became members of multi-ukulele households. As we looked around for a local ukulele circle, we realized there was not one yet and decided it was time to create the Cutie Circle.
