“The artist must forget the audience, forget the critics, forget the technique, forget everything but love for the music. Then, the music speaks through the performance, and the performer and the listener will walk together with the soul of the composer, and with God.” ― Mstislav Rostropovich
“Too bad people can’t always be playing music, maybe then there wouldn’t be any more wars.” ― Margot Benary-Isbert, Rowan Farm
“Don’t be afraid, just play the music.”― Charlie Parker

Below is a link to WLUK Fox 11’s “Good Day Wisconsin” morning program, Halloween Day, Oct. 31, 2017. There are video clips of the Green Bay Ukulele Club performing “Monster Mash,” “The Addams Family Theme,” and the “Batman TV Show Theme” at our first annual Halloween Jam. Great job, guys!:
Green Bay Ukulele Club Gets GDW Viewers into the Halloween Spirit

Watch Igor playing the piano part for “Monster Mash” on his Cordoba concert ukulele — it’s pretty cool. Dr. Frankenstein is playing the bass part on the U-bass. Other ukes are actually playing the background vocal sections. And, of course, the moms are helping with the background vocals as well. This arrangement is very faithful to the original song.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, the 2020 Covid pandemic wiped out our well-rehearsed and -accomplished acoustic orchestra, but we’re still offering individual and group lessons and an abundance of resources for ukulele, guitar and bass.
