At first I was afraid no one was going to come and I suddenly had a bunch of customers and only 1 uke player that I did not have any time to jam with. But there really was no reason to panick. It was only like 5 min. after start time. And then... the ukuleles started rolling in...
We ended up with about 6 ukes, 2 guitars, a trumpet, with some tambourine and maraca thrown in there... we played a group Somewhere Over the Rainbow... tried out a few more songs... and at some point we ended up singing some Latin music... which sounded really good with the trumpet!
Some random tidbits:
A lady showed up because she is looking for a Uke player to play Somewhere Over the Rainbow as she walks down the isle. (random, but cool, great people)
We had a local young person come and get a quick beginner lesson from our friend Jeff and she stayed and played a few songs... which was really cool! I can tell she enjoyed it! (Thanks Jeff)
And we have some great ideas and a good base to make the next jam even better! (some organized chaos without losing the 'jam' part)
I thought my shop would not be busy because the weather is crap... and for some reason we were packed! (not that I am complaining)
We got a few new people on the underground! (gotta spread the UkuleleUnderground.com love)
We are now going to meet every first Saturday! (and I already can't wait)
I wish I got more pictures and video... but I seriously was so darn busy! It was like a snow explosion!!! But here are a few:

Looks like a ton of fun. I hope the next one goes as well. Did the people from atlanta make it?
That looks like a lot of fun!
I dig the trumpet. I've got a thing for latin music with a trumpet!
That is great! I am so happy for you that it went well, and I am excited that you have a new tradition started. This is SUCH an Audra thing. Love it.
Totally, awesome, Audra! Sounds like you are on to something! (As opposed to "on something")
Jeff, here. The Yellow sweatered gray hair fellow in the video and pics. Didn't know the video existed! I had an awesome time! You were such a great host. Just wish you'd gotten time to play more. Thanks!
P.S. Your blog is awesome!
