Hello, is anybody out there?

10/2/2025

Hello Ukulele Fans!

I just wanted to check in since it's been a while since I last wrote anything here.  Is anybody reading this?  Does anybody really know what time it is?  Does anybody really care? (IYKYK)

Fall is my favorite season.  Growing up and continuing to live in Ventura County, that may not seem like it means much, especially for those who have lived in areas of the world where there are very distinct changes with each season. For me, it is the season of finding crisp leaves to step on.  I love the colors and the crunch.  It means time to snuggle up with a blanket and a cup of hot tea.  "Nesting" time.  I love to see and hear the geese as they fly overhead in their "V" formation heading to (in my imagination) far off places to seek warmth for the upcoming winter months.  And, it is the season of my birth, my wedding anniversary, and, Thanksgiving, and, one of my favorite holidays: Dia de Los Muertos.

During this time, I love to watch the sky as it showcases its beautiful clouds during the day and beautiful colors at sunset.  And, somehow, at night, the stars seem within reach.

Thank you for spending some time in my little world.  I hope that you find yourself resting and nesting and filled with love and gratefulness during this time.

Keep playing your heart's music.

And, please let me know if you read this:  what is your favorite time of year, and why?

Aloha,

Lisa

Mermaid Month at Ventura Harbor

3/3/2025

0 Comments

 
      In case you didn't know, we love to support our local community.  And, music is a pretty fun way to do just that!

For years, even before we became the owners of Anacapa Ukulele, Lloyd and I, along with other ukulele players, have been playing ukulele and singing at the Mermaid Festival at Ventura Harbor every March.

Over the years, the other players have changed, but we are still showing up year after year to help bring festive music and even hula to the visitors of the
Mermaid Festival. 

    This year is no exception, we (the Anacapa Ukulele Ensemble) will be playing on two Saturdays this month (from 1 to 4 pm), and although, this means we have to close our shop, we make that sacrifice in order to be out supporting music and fun in our community.

If you do your shopping on Saturdays, please keep the dates in mind.  If you are feeling like having a fun-filled day (or more) out in the ocean air, stop by and enjoy the festivities at the Mermaid Festival at Ventura Harbor.

We will be at the Mermaid Festival on the following two Saturdays:

March 8
March 22
(and therefore our shop will be closed on these days)

It's a celebration!
Anacapa Ukulele is celebrating 7 years! 
Thank you!


      In 2016, we, Lloyd and Lisa "retired" from the real world of working (in the healthcare field); but, apparently, the world still needed us to continue as providers of health, happiness, and joy! Thus began the journey that we are still on:  that of being facilitators of wellness through music, specializing in all things ukulele.

     Seven years later, we are still in "practice" providing superior care to our "clients".  Our doors remain open and we are happy to provide the services we offer.
We are once again humbled and honored to feature Kris Fuchigami as the headliner at our celebration.

     We appreciate your business, your support, and your referrals.  We remain exclusively brick-and-mortar (no internet or mail orders) because we strongly believe in the personal attention that can only be experienced "live."

    We hope you can join us on May 21st to celebrate!


     Thank you again for your business.  We look forward to our next year and wish you peace, love, and music

Aloha,

Lloyd and Lisa
