We meet at the PGE (Portland General Electric) Building in Salem, Oregon. Click the "Information" button above for directions.
 

The last 30 minutes of every meeting is "Open Mic" time to perform on the ukulele or teach the group a song.

Loaner ukes are always available for those who don't have one, but want to learn.
 

Beginners are offered a free basic introductory lesson at the start of the meeting.

$2.00 is collected at the door.

SUSA is a family friendly association.

At the SUSA meeting on Jan 10th, we said “Happy Birthday” to Elvis.  It’s was his 75th!  The featured song was "Blue Hawaii" which is in the SUSA book.

Here is Elvis performing the song during a “Full Dress” studio session. Do you suppose he had to wear the fancy outfit to get into the mood to sing?  Hmmmm?

Recorded for Elvis’s 1961 movie “Blue Hawaii”, the "Blue Hawaii" soundtrack album was on the Billboard Pop Albums chart for 79 weeks, spent 20 weeks at #1 on the Pop Albums chart, and sold more than 2-million copies.

"Blue Hawaii" was the first of three Elvis movies to be filmed in Hawaii, followed by "Girls! Girls! Girls!" in 1962 and "Paradise, Hawaiian Style" in 1965.
