“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

Harriet Tubman.

Aloha,

The Nui `ukulele club work is just beginning and is in full swing. I am planning a couple of holiday concerts. Many very good musicians have given the preliminary OK, nailing down the venue in the next step. We will be having a couple holiday concerts. I will keep everyone posted on the progress on dates/locations, music selection, and other venue considerations. If you are a musician of good accord, and would like to participate.  Please email me at nuiukulele@pobox.com.
