  • At our January 2019 meeting, the Austin Ukulele Society kicked off our 9th(!) year by learning to strum, pick and sing a classic hit: Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline.” It was one of our best attended meetings ever, and everyone had an awesome time! The joyous voices, heartfelt music and positive energy is what we're all about!

    When i want my day to start with a smile instead of switching on the TV to listen to the news, I listen to the Austin Ukulele Society and unlike the news they guarantee I will feel better after watching all those wonderful earnest face playing their Ukes with such skill and dexterity, you are making a difference in the world, I know how much work and dedication it must take to keep the society running and I for one appreciate it, thank you.

    I've really enjoyed your videos since I discovered your You Tube channel a few months ago but this one must be one of the best. I love your camera angles - they show the enjoyment on your members faces so well. Good to see that you have a few "actors" amongst your members. Sweet Caroline is a popular choice amongst members of the ukulele club I'm involved with (Churchdown Ukulele Club, based at Churchdown, which is a village mid way between Cheltenham and Gloucester in the UK) but I'm going to "steal" one or two snippets from your arrangement if that's OK. One of our members came along to your November meeting while she was visiting her son who lives in Austin. I look forward to seeing and hearing which song you have planned for your Valentine day's meeting.

    • @BobGuz
      @BobGuz 5 років тому

      Hello David! Thanks so much for your comments! Yes, folks are indeed getting more comfortable having the cameras around and we have some members who like to ham it up. I love it and also try to include those clips in the final video! Feel free to borrow anything you like from our arrangement -- that's a compliment! Share a video if you can! I remember meeting your member at our November meeting, when we did our Christmas tune. I didn't get a chance to chat with her after the meeting -- I hope she had fun. Cheers!

    Where it began,
    I can't begin to knowin'
    But then I know it's growing strong
    Was in the spring
    And spring became the summer
    Who'd have believed you'd come along.
    Hands, touchin' hands
    Reachin' out, touchin' me touchin' you
    Sweet Caroline
    Good times never seemed so good
    I've been inclined
    To believe they never would
    But now I, look at the night
    And it don't seem so lonely
    We fill it up with only two.
    And when I hurt,
    Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
    How can I hurt when I'm with you
    Warm, touchin' warm
    Reachin' out, touchin' me touchin' you
    Sweet Caroline
    Good times never seemed so good
    I've been inclined,
    To believe they never would
    Oh, no, no
    Sweet Caroline
    Good times never seemed so good
    Sweet Caroline,
    I believe they never could

    Who'd have believed we be still there
    Hands, touching fans
    Reaching out, singing loud, hands on hearts
    Sweet England
    Good times never seemed so good right now
    I'd been inclined not To believe
    but now I do it so good so good
    Look at the team and each other
    it wont seem so lonely
    We filled the stadium with English cheer
    And when we are behind it hurts
    but hurt runs off are shoulders
    How can we hurt when we are all there
    all of us singing loud Reaching out,
    hands on hearts, motivating the team
