Meetup January 24 2026

Grab your beads, wear your purple, green & gold, and come on down for a Plucking Strummers Mardi Gras Party! It’s time far Carnival! Celebrate the Social Season ukulele-style! We’re going off road with a custom PDF of sheet music. Gene posted the PDF in the featured section. Laissez Les Bons Temps Roulez!

For this upcoming meeting, I selected some of my favorites of the Mardi Gras season. Some are traditional Mardi Gras songs. Some are more modern interpretations, plus I included a small tribute to New Orleans’ own, Fats Domino. You’ll even find my contribution to the Social Season.
