Sal Goes To Mighty Uke Day

This post will be a challenge for me.  It's going to take great self-discipline to write briefly about Mighty Uke Day!  Six of the Cleveland Fleaharmonics attended this year, and to steal a phrase from one of our number, we had a simply splendid time!

Mighty Uke Day was actually two days long.  It started on Friday, May 8th, with a strum on the steps of the Michigan State Capital.

Sal -- a very small ukulele -- posing with a very large ukulele -- 13 feet long, to be exact!  This giant uke was seen all over town during Mighty Uke Day.

Later in the day we attended workshops!  That evening we enjoyed a fabulous concert.  The next day meant more workshops and another evening concert.  In between we enjoyed nice meals together and had a generally wonderful time.  If you want to read about all the talented people we saw in concert, click here.

Susan Picking and Sal.  Ms. Picking taught a children's ukulele class, from which I stole ideas for our summer uke program at the library.

Stu Fuchs -- a wonderful instructor. We totally enjoyed his workshops.

This was Sal's third meeting with Victoria Vox.  What an amazing singer/songwriter she is!
