SUMMARY:Meetup June 14\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:TRAVIS PICKING WITH ELLEN BLOOM \nEllen will be showing us two versions of Travis Picking for the Ukulele on June 14th.  One is Gary’s method\, the other is Ellen’s. Merle Travis invented this type of picking for the guitar.  It is a syncopated style of fingerpicking rooted in ragtime music in which alternating chords and bass notes are plucked by the thumb while melodies are plucked by the index finger.  Merle Travis is considered to be one of the most influential guitarists of the 20th century.  We only have 4 strings on the ukulele versus 6 strings on the guitar\, so this type of picking is simplified. \nAll the songs are located here\, so there is no need to bring either the blue or yellow books. The PDF will be posted at the top of our FB page and our website\, or you can email me\, Gene\, for a copy at-genemazzanti@gmail.com. \n9 AM to 9:45 AM –This week we will have warm-ups and ensemble discussion starting at 9:00am \nSaturday is the kickoff of the Plucking Strummers Songwriters Workshop. \nBring a song you are working on\, a partial song\, fragment\, idea\, or just listen. \nLars will present an introduction to his future workshops on song composition and performance techniques. \n9:50 AM to 10:00 AM  -Breaktime\, and a chance to mingle and share snacks and refreshments. \n10:00 to 11:15 AM – This will be our classic strum session\, performing a list of songs chosen by our guest leader. \n11:15 AM to 11:30 – Second Breaktime. \n11:30 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. \n  \nDisclaimers: \nMasks are no longer mandatory\, however\, if you feel more comfortable wearing one\, please do. \nIt 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. \nAny 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. \nAs there are only a few music stands readily available to us\, if you have a music stand\, please bring it with you. \nThe address of C.C.L.A. is 3852 Edenhurst Ave Los Angeles CA 90039 \nIf you need to reach me: My email is genemazzanti@gmail.com my cell is 323-537-7013 \nLet’s have some ukulele fun! Can’t wait to see everyone there!!!!!!! \nGene
