- At our July 2024 meeting we had terrific time "getting away from it all" by strumming, picking, and singing The Beach Boys' summery 1988 hit, "Kokomo." Huge thanks to all who came out and made the evening so special! Special thanks to Aaron Lewis for keeping us on the beat with his U-bass!

Thanks for watching!!
This group looks like so much fun to be with! Well done by all!!
For some unknown reason this video came up on my feed. I like the Beach Boys, so I opened up this video. I noticed it said "Ukulele" and thought, "Oh, I'll bet this is a lame joke of a video!" But I started it up thinking I'd listen for a few seconds and laugh at it. Funny thing though, I listened to the whole thing. Here was a large group of people having more fun than I'm having. I was enthralled to watch the joy on their faces. I really enjoyed the video. So here I am sitting humbled that I thought I was above their playing and instrument. I was schooled!
Thanks so much for your very thoughtful comment! And sincere thanks for being willing to give this video a chance. It's true that the ukulele is a misunderstood and underappreciated instrument. We take it seriously, making what we hope is wonderful music while having a fun time together as well. It was a genuine thrill to read that your initial expectations were exceeded. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Great fun! I always enjoy watching you guys play! 🤓
Thanks, so happy you liked it! This is a really fun song to play!

Great cover. Solid steady beat.

To expand on @victoriaLemay, I looked up the unusual percussion instrument called the Vibraslap (a contemporary version of the quijada) that was played at time stamp 0:34. It's usually played with the ball end on top but either position works! It's a cool instrument so I wanted to pass along the info to others who may also have been curious.
👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
Fun 👍🏻☺
We had a fantastic time playing this song together!!
Pretty Beach-y! :-)
