Jolene, Dolly Parton cover, Austin Ukulele Society

At our May 12, 2022 meeting we had a fabulous time playing and singing Dolly Parton's touching 1973 hit "Jolene". Many, many thanks to all who came out and worked so hard to make this possible -- beautiful job everyone! And very special thanks to Jay Clement who played bass this evening.

I wish this Ukulele Society could somehow become a template for chapters all around the country. I would love to be a part of this

[@lesleyr.4173]

Awesome!

Oh wow - yeah I’m glad the pandemic worries are subsiding and big groups like this can come together and sing. And we can hear harmonies and all the variations in voice and instrument. Wow. Video collab doesn’t do justice the way this kinda in-person collab can. But, being so far away from Austin, I’m feeling v left out 🙁 but truthfully, I’m v happy for you. I’m happy that your lovely AUS group was shared w us outside of Austin, for a beautiful 2 years… so thank you Bob Jen and all. I spy a lot of TUG friends in the mix. I’m happy y’all have this monthly meeting too 🙏🏽🎶🌿

[@nomadWalkr]

Such happy faces after the performance. That’s the power of music. 🎶🎶🎶

I Wished i lived in Austin, hugs from the UK xxx

[@milliechalk8398]

I absolutely love this group!!!

[@mo2v8ed1]

Greeting for LA. What a fabulous group you have. The pandemic has decimated the local groups I jam with (5), hopefully we'll all recover soon. I've got family all over Texas. Someday I hope to visit Austin and sit in

[@AustinUkuleleSociety]

Thanks Robert! I hope you will come jam with us some time! We have lots of visitors who schedule trips to coincide with our meetings -- we'd make you feel very welcome!!

[@chriskei76]

You are all sooo great. Greetings and compliments from Germany 😊

[@AustinUkuleleSociety]

Thank you Chris, very happy to hear you enjoyed it!

Fast work, Bob! Good job on getting us all ready for the recording, and for editing all twenty cameras’ worth of video into a single performance. :-)

[@AustinUkuleleSociety]

Thanks Jay, and thanks for the expert bass work! Actually, that's about right: 6 cameras X 3 takes = 18 video files :-)

[@SammyPi]

Dolly will love it! Wonderfull!

[@AustinUkuleleSociety]

It's a joy to see you singing, then cheering at the end!
