Dear friends, As many of you know, Mike was a music teacher before he became known globally as ‘Ukulele Mike’. So, he was pleased to be asked to give ukulele lessons aboard The Princess not once, but twice (2013 and 2015)! (I was privileged to be his ‘Vanna’.) We were joined by some of Mike’s followers from all over (including Japan); incredible trips with incredible people! These were 2 of the most rewarding trips we’ve ever taken; the ukulele community is a fun, happy one and we had a blast together! Jean James, who arranged our cruises, is organizing what will probably be her “last hurrah ..read more

UNDERNEATH THE LEAVES OF THE BANYAN TREE

       (Play The Uke, Play The Uke, Play The Ookoolele, Ookoolele) Dear friends,  The devastation that the fires on Maui left behind was shocking; that virtually a whole town could burn to the ground was unimaginable. And yet… pictures everywhere showed it all. When I heard the news that Lahaina was almost totally gone, the first thing I searched for on the internet was how the banyan tree had fared. Was it still standing? For it has been the heart of Lahaina since it was planted 150 years ago, growing to fill an entire city block and serving as a gathering p ..read more

Hello friends! It’s been a long time since posting, but I couldn’t let another year go by without publicly celebrating World Ukulele Day, which Mike initiated in 2011!   This is the 12th year since it’s inception, (Wow!) and 5 years since Mike left us here to carry on without him…But he’s still here for all of us who want to tap into his enthusiasm for all things ukulele! With that in mind, here is his ‘declaration’ of the first World Ukulele Day! It’s only fitting that it should come from him. The day Mike declared February 2nd to be World Ukulele Day. Mike had some great suggestions fo ..read more

‘FINLANDIA’ (A Song of Peace) for our time!

July 3, 2022 On the eve of our Independence Day, I am drawn to a song that is close to my heart: ‘Finlandia’. Mike and I shared it with our congregation countless times, and always for the 4th of July. Preferring the Mary Travers version, that is what we offered, with Mike accompanying me on the piano. So, when Mike decided to arrange this beautiful melody for the ukulele, I was particularly pleased! He worked to create an arrangement that was beautiful, yet achievable~ and I loved his chordal voicings! (Every time I pick up a uke, no matter how long or short my session, it always includes ‘Fi ..read more

Season’s blessings!

Dear friends, We at the Lynch household are busy making Cornish pasties, which was our tradition (per his request) to celebrate Mike’s birthday and Father’s Day…we continue to do so to honor his memory. It seems fitting to have this tonight and tomorrow because we need something special to fill the void of our usual traditions of caroling parties and goodies galore that friends bring. Mike’s grandmother taught his mother how to make them; when I entered the family, she taught me…and now our daughters make them with me. They are simple in ingredients: meat, potatoes and onions, chopped and laye ..read more

We Gather Together

November 26, 2020 By Collene Lynch Hello friends! We in the U.S. gather together today to thank God for our blessings. Our gatherings look different this year, as there are many empty places at our tables. Perhaps if we picture our loved ones sitting with us, eating, laughing, exchanging stories, praying and singing with us, they will seem a little closer. I imagine some of us might say we are saving their places for next year…and that brings a smile as I write this. Growing up, our family seemed normal size, as we were one of a multitude in our neighborhood with large families…even though the ..read more

Both Sides Now

A Love Story Hello friends! On August 22, 1970, Mike and I each married our best friend. This year marks our 50th wedding anniversary. It was literally a lifetime ago, and yet…I remember very clearly our courtship and the first time we said “I Love You”, prompted by the song, ‘Both Sides Now’… We were standing in the entry foyer to my family home; it was separated from the rest of the house by a door…which we kept shut so we could say our ‘good nights’ in private. (I have 9 younger siblings, so this was essential!) As music was how met, and being enamored of Judy Collins, it was natural that w ..read more

May 17, 2020 Hello friends! May 18th, marks the 40th anniversary of Mt. St. Helen’s massive eruption. Forty years…yet I remember it vividly! We stood outside in the street that Sunday, watching the plumb mushrooming as if an atomic bomb had exploded, in awe at the sheer magnitude nature wrought! It wasn’t as if we weren’t warned, but it seemed to us a long time coming…There were a multitude of  volcanic seismic events-for years-building up to the fateful day. It was a relief to have it finally blow it’s top! Mike was obsessed with the impending eruption, from the first alerts from geologi ..read more
