<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The music of the Caribbean is a GREAT way to solidify and refine the basics of Ukulele strumming! You’ll explore the deep and heart centered styles of Reggae, Calypso Ska & Rocksteady. You’ll learn lots of fun and uplifting songs, new syncopated strum patterns, melodic riffs, and “level up” on your sense of groove and coordination with unique practice tips from Stu’s decades of experience. Be prepared to have a blast getting into the groove!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Open to ALL LEVELS of player</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
*11:00am-11:50am The Life & Times of Chuck Berry: Rock 'n Roll for Ukulele led by Stuart Fuchs</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Learn the stylistic nuances of rock 'n roll on your Uke! We’ll play lots of fun and easy songs from the Father of Rock 'n Roll, Chuck Berry. By exploring songs from Chuck’s deep catalogue and applying Stu’s “Uke-a-billy” method you’ll give your ukulele playing that classic rock 'n roll style & edge. You’ll learn new rhythms, melodic licks that can be used to solo, and learn to improve your ability to strum and sing at the same time. In addition, you’ll gain an insight into the creative ways Chuck Berry weaves storytelling and rhythm & blues to help create the style of Rock 'n Roll music. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
“If you tried to give Rock 'n roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry’ ” - John Lennon.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Open to ALL LEVELS of player, beginner to advanced. Some basic experience recommended.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
*Around Noonish, our headliner, Stu Fuchs, will perform in concert. Stu was our headliner in 2017; and everyone loved him so much, we asked him to come back again.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
*1:30pm to maybe 5:00pm, Maine-based ukulele groups will perform their concerts, each of which will conclude with an audience sing and strum-along song so be sure to bring your uke.</div>

If you're looking for a parking spot, here's a map of some nearby parking lots. There is also metered parking on State Street and a parking lot directly behind St. Luke's on Park Street.<br />

<b><u>CASCOBAY UKEFEST WORKSHOPS</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wonderful news! On Saturday, July 28, at St. Luke's Cathedral on State Street in Portland (across from Mercy Hospital) the Fourth Annual CascoBay UkeFest will kick off at 9:00 AM with three very helpful and fun workshops.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first workshop beginning at 9:00 - and it's FREE - will be led by the talented wife and husband duo of Lynne and Rick Gammon. Lynne and Rick have taught ukulele in a variety of settings and continue to hone their superb ukulele-playing skills as long-time active members of the Falmouth Library Ukulele Society (a/k/a the FLUKES).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px;">Beginner Ukulele Workshop: Lynne and Rick Gammon</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">For the complete novice or someone just starting to play, this session will acquaint you with the uke and provide instruction for a simple strum pattern and a few basic chords. Following this brief workshop, attendees will be able to participate in the other activities of the day.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jim Beloff then follows at 10:00 with a workshop for advanced beginners, but Jim intends that even brand new beginners will get something out of this workshop.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Advanced Beginner Ukulele Workshop: Jim Beloff</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">For those who know a handful of chords and a basic up/down strum, here’s a chance to take your skills to a new level. Another half dozen or so (dozen if two sessions) well-known songs will be played while learning more chords, new fingerings, new strums, a picking pattern, transposing on the fly and performance tips and techniques along the way. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At 11:00, Jim leads another workshop for advanced beginners that can also be called a "jam" because it will consist of playing lots of songs from <i>The Daily Ukulele</i> but with Jim teaching some fine points of each song that can make our playing even more fun. Again, Jim intends that even brand new beginners will have fun trying out these songs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Advance Beginner Daily Ukulele Jam: Jim Beloff</b> </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">An hour of strumming through a dozen or so songs from both <i>Daily Ukulele </i>songbooks with periodic stops to ooh and ahh over the cleverness of a specific chord change, the enduring elegance of the AABA song structure and how the major 7</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 9.3px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> chord became a defining sound of the 1970s.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The fee for one or both of Jim's workshops is only $10; that is, $10 gets you into either one or both. Combined with the FREE 9:00 workshop, that's only $10 for as many as three all-excellent workshops!</span></div>

The Second Annual CascoBay UkeFest has come and gone, but the memories will linger at least until the Third Annual CascoBay UkeFest is held next year.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Thanks to generous donations made the day of the July 1 UkeFest, we're able to give 14 ukuleles and tuners to 14 deserving kiddos, 8 of whom received their ukes and tuners at the event. <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=246659272264" href="https://www.facebook.com/musicandmagicmaine/" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: none;">Music and Magic Maine</a> was one of our Partners and administered the Ukes for Kids Program.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
And thanks to other generous donations made at the UkeFest, we're able to give 9 iPods to the Maine Veterans Home for sen<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ior veterans living with Alzheimer's. For more information on how those iPods will be used, you can check out <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=218181348207029" href="https://www.facebook.com/MusicAndMemory/" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: none;">Music & Memory</a>.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
The day was filled with six excellent workshops in the afternoon; and in the evening, the Peaks Island Ukes, the Flukes, and the Urban Ukuleles performed.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The UkeFest ended with the Grand Public Finale when anyone and everyone was invited to sing and strum three nautical songs, concluding with "Portland Farewell" to the tune of "Jamaica Farewell".</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Part of the joy of the UkeFest will be the opportunity for lovers of the ukulele to make a donation using the button below that will be used to purchase ukuleles and tuners for young folks who would not otherwise be able to have their very own ukulele. In partnership with <a href="http://www.musicandmagicmaine.com/">Music & Magic Maine</a>, you can nominate someone to receive a new ukulele and tuner by submitting his or her name on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CascoBay-UkeFest-1575731072693245/?ref=bookmarks">Facebook page</a>. The total cost of a ukulele and tuner is $50 from our Partner <a href="https://m.facebook.com/buckdancers.choice?src=email_notif">Buckdancer's Choice</a>, but donations in any amount will be very much appreciated and will go towards those purchases.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also, there is the opportunity to make a donation using that same button below that will be used to purchase iPods for <a href="https://www.maineveteranshomes.org/scarborough/">the Maine Veterans Home</a>, a <a href="http://musicandmemory.org/about/therapeutic-benefits-of-personalized-music/">Music and Memory certified care facility</a> in Scarborough, Please take at look at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyZQf0p73QM">this video</a> to see and hear the powerful impact of music on those living in facilities such as the Maine Veterans Home. Apple still sells its iPod Shuffles for $49. And if you have a gently used iPod you'd like to donate, there'll be boxes at the UkeFest where you can deposit them. Please keep the ear buds for yourself. And as with donations to purchase ukes and tuners, donations in any amount will be very much appreciated and will go towards the purchase of iPods for the Maine Veterans Home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thank you very much for considering a donation.</span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Level 1: Beginner</b> Welcome! You are in this most exciting phase of the learning curve until you can move between chord changes and keep a beat. Get fluent with (at least your C, F, and G7 and then head to the next level.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Level 2: Early Intermediate </b>Now you’re a player, but chord diagrams over the words are still a must. Your job here is to master B flat, get some strums under your belt and grow into your instrument - this is when you truly learn how to practice.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Level 3: Experienced Intermediate </b>Look at you, singing and strumming at the same time! You know a bunch of chords and are ready to use them. Time to dig in and learn some exciting techniques and maybe venture further up the neck. Be proud of yourself, this is a fine plateau to reach.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial unicode ms"; line-height: normal;"></span><span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Level 4: Advanced </b>You can hear changes, you know some barre and closed chords, and have toured the real estate above the fifth fret. You are unafraid of the tricky stuff, ready to sit with the big kids. When things go over your head, watch and listen closely, then take your new ideas home to practice.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">This session will be a basic introduction to the concept of Tablatures (TABs) and how to use them. This workshop is right for you if you’re not an advanced player (yet) and you may not read music or know where the notes are on the fretboard, but you want to figure out how to pluck simple melodies on your uke. By the end of the workshop, you should be able to play the first few bars of “Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue” and know how to work through the rest of the song.</span></div>
