Strum with us!  Playing the ukulele is one of the fastest growing crazes not only in The Villages but in the country.  On January 30, 2020, we moved to our current location - Everglades Recreation Center  where we hold our regular Thursday sessions.  At our general sessions, those who would like to lead songs come to one of four microphones to sing.  Our song sheets are projected onto multiple screens so that no matter where you are seated, you can see one of them and play and strum along.  Don't worry about hitting a wrong note... with so many ukuleles no one will know.  How many balls did Tiger hit before he won a tournament?  If you come wearing a frown, you'll leave wearing a smile.

See you Thursday at Everglades Recreation Center.
