Battling Ukuleles in California

"On a mild Monday evening, a woman holding a baby peers into a window at the San Luis Obispo Art Center and smiles.

Because inside the building, 14 people are sitting in a lopsided circle, strumming “Sweet Georgia Brown” on their ukuleles.

The woman walks in the open door and bobs, baby in arms, to the music.

But the uke players don’t even seem to notice her presence. Instead, they’re all zeroed in on their binders, each containing music for up to 130 songs.

The group — called The SLO Strummers, the Ukulele Society of the Central Coast—meets twice a month. They don’t have any grand goals of performing before a crowd; they just get together and strum their ukes."
