UKULELE CRAZE

2013 finds me teaching ukulele, guitar, bass and vocal sessions to teenagers in Whitby. Throw in a little drama and comedy, add some jazzy singing, and these kids are awesome!

And the OSCC is running its inaugural UKULELE CLASS to seniors in Oshawa. Lots of fun! Sign up at the Conant Branch of the Oshawa Seniors Citizens Centres, 115 Grassmere Ave., Oshawa.  Phone: 905-576-6712.

My story (and I’m sticking to it) is that it takes no more strength to play the uke than it takes to operate the remote control for your TV!

Exercise your hands, exercise your brain, exercise your smile!
