YACHT ROCK WITH HONEYB
“Yacht rock” refers to a music style and aesthetic, often associated with soft rock, that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, characterized by glossy production, breezy vocals, and bouncy rhythms, evoking the image of relaxing cruises. Our fabulous Co Director HoneyB will lead us through this broad genre that draws on influences like smooth soul, smooth jazz, R&B, and disco.

11:30 AM to 12:00 Individual performance time! I really hope we can get many people to sign up. I would love to see some of our new Strummers stretch their wings. Then we need to pack up and exit the building before Noon.
Disclaimers:
Masks are no longer mandatory, however, if you feel more comfortable wearing one, please do.
It is very important to the church that we have completely exited the building and cleaned up behind us before the next group arrives. So, depending on the number of performance signups, we may or may not get to all of them. Any member who signs up but does not get to perform will be moved to the top of the list for the next meeting.
Any member who wishes to be a guest presenter/teacher needs to contact me the week before the meeting, let me know what you plan to present and provide me early copies of any material you will be handing out.
As there are only a few music stands readily available to us, if you have a music stand, please bring it with you.
The address of C.C.L.A. is 3852 Edenhurst Ave Los Angeles CA 90039
Let’s have some ukulele fun! Can’t wait to see everyone there!!!!!!!
