What is SUSA? |
Salem Ukulele Strummers Association is an ever-changing group of ukulele players
and enthusiasts who are dedicated to having fun and fellowship while strumming and
singing a wide variety of fun, popular and very memorable songs.
Meetings are typically held on the second Sunday of each month, from 1:30 to 3:30
p.m.
We meet at the PGE (Portland General Electric) Building in Salem, Oregon. Click
the "Meeting" 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.
Meeting Agenda
The mission of Mele ‘Ohana is to create a fun, relaxing forum for those who wish to play, sing, and dance traditional, contemporary, or Hawai’ian-inspired music, while perpetuating the culture of Hawai’i through song, dance, education, and fellowship; with plenty of Aloha.
“The monthly kanikapila (jam session) in Eugene, provides a wonderful opportunity to sing, play, or simply sit back and enjoy some great Hawaiian music. The graceful halau (hula club) dancers have a fun time performing too. Don’t forget to try Clif’s ono Kalua Pig, or Archie’s fabulous Poke, at the potluck!” Wiley Miller (SUSA Webmaster)
Welcome back! Hope you have enjoyed your summer, so far. How would you like to take a break from all the electioneering and economic turmoil? Well, this month we’re “Getting Back to Uke”. We’ll be learning some new songs from a Jim Beloff class that was presented this year at the Portland Ukulele Festival. Tune up! We’ll see you there for the beginning of the 5th year of SUSA. Can you believe it? Featured song: Side By Side (Song sheet and Audio file)
