Season's Greetings
      Regardless of how and what you celebrate at this time of year, we, Lloyd and Lisa, at Anacapa Ukulele wish you and yours the very best now and in the upcoming year.

      We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all of you who have continued to support our small business and other small businesses in any way(s) that you have been able during this past roller-coaster year.

     We are truly grateful for the opportunity to be able to be of service and to bring the joy of the ukulele to our customers, both the new and "the regulars".  It is because of you, and for you that we continue our small business.  Our "virtual" connections have been great, but we look forward to resuming "live" events as soon as we can.

    Like the rest of you (and the world around us) we have adapted and then adapted some more to accommodate our customers and remain compliant with the health regulations.  Our number-one priority is that of maintaining a safe and healthy environment in our store.

     We continue to offer appointments that can be scheduled by calling us.  Our inventory continues to expand and we are continuing to offer instruments, straps, tuners, music books, CDs, and a variety of other accessories including custom items.

     Thank you again for your business.  We look forward to a new year and wish you peace, love, and music!

Aloha,

Lloyd and Lisa

Pure fun!
  We need some creative expression!

YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER to get the access link and songs.
Registration link is at the bottom of this post.

Song submissions encouraged, but none will be accepted after Oct 22. 
We want to ensure that everyone gets the songs so they can practice and pick a costume that reflects either:

• SONG TITLE
• CHARACTER IN SONG
• ARTIST (PERFORMER OR WRITER)
• THEME OF SONG

(Any and all costumes are great, even if they don't reflect any of the above, but BONUS POINTS will be awarded for any costumes that do meet the above!)

Here's a preview of the songs on our list so far.  (Subject to change.)

      Well, let's face it, 2020 is "special," but let's not go there!

       We love the fall.  Often we take time off in October for our anniversary.  This year, we will likely take some time off then again, but in addition, we are taking some time off in September.  Next week, in fact!

Closed September 13 through 22 (and maybe the afternoon of the 12th--so please call or look on Facebook for updates).

      We are also taking a little break from our normal every-other week virtual jam sessions (Zuumulele). 

No Zuumulele on September 10th

YES Zuumulele on Septmeber 24th

Theme: Spontaneity!

•  A little different format this time: Kanikapila-Style!
• What? Participants will be "called upon" to screen share the song they are playing instead of submitting them ahead of time.
• If you can't screen-share, feel free to email your song to us and we will share for you (no later than September 22nd, please.
• No song? No worries...join us anyway to play along.

Like song sheets before the event? No problem, email us and we will send you a link for any songs that we know of ahead of time (just a few this time?).  We usually ask for songs ahead of time so that we can share a link for you as well as screen share all the songs for you, but this time we are doing it differently for a change.

We are looking forward to seeing you in your tropical attire and state of mind!  Join us for our virtual piece of paradise as we jam to some awesome tropical/aloha-vibe "mele"! 

The song list has grown, and will be posted on Wednesday, by late afternoon (the song link is in the confirmation email that you get/got when you register(ed). As usual, we will be screen-sharing the songs during the session.

Hope you can join us.  And, if you are up for some fun, here is a word search puzzle for you with names of some of the songs that we had last week (there are more songs, but the puzzle was already created). 

Or print and play.

Note:  The registration link for Aug 13the and Aug 27th Zuumulele Sessions are in the post below (dated August 4)


Here is the alphabetical listing of the songs that we are planning to play together on August 13th.  We will post the list order and the songs soon (refer to the link in your registration confirmation email).  The titles in bold (and possibly more on this list) are in Richard G's Songbook at  scorpexuke.com/
