Hello friends out there in learning land! So, exciting news. I have been super busy lately because I am preparing to make my first trip to NAMM in two weeks. 

Any learners in the Los Angeles area? Bernadette from "Bernadette Teaches Music" and I have been talking about arranging an Ukulele meet up with our Patreons to jam, let me know if anyone is interested. I will be in town the 24th to the 27th so we can try and make something happen.

What do you want to see? I have never been, I am not sure what to expect. I would like to find a solid body Ukulele that I can plug into a big loud tube amp and I wont get feedback, so I can run it through gnarly guitar pedals and get crazy sounds. Should I try to vlog that experience? I am not that good at that kind of stuff to be honest, and it takes me a little out of my comfort zone, but that is how we grow! Plus, if you want it, you got it, because you all rock! 

Learning Keyboard and Singing it has been a very slow start friends because of this upcoming USA trip. Preparing the channel, shooting the videos, making sure things at home are set up and getting ready for international travel has left me a little behind the 8ball, but I have been playing, learning, and documenting. I have learned a handful of chords in the Major and I have found my vocal range that I am comfortable with. A2 to D4, I have to shout pretty hard to hit that D note though, so I try to keep it closer to C#4 for now. 

Cool, that is the update on where I am at. Hopefully I will see some of you in SoCal and we can rock. Cheers friends and thanks for the patience in this crazy month!

Tyler, one other idea, my good friend and bandmate, Tom Joliet hosts a radio show on Laguna's Public Radio Station KX93.5 FM. I asked him if it would be OK for you, Bernadette, etc. to come in and play on his Tropical Surf Show on the following Sunday night from 5-7, if you're still around. He's up for it! Then we could grab dinner, etc. Here's a podcast of his last show with "The Surfaris" (of "Wipeout" fame). <a href="https://www.kx935.com/podcasts/the-surfaris-january-13-2019/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.kx935.com/podcasts/the-surfaris-january-13-2019/</a> What say you, Good Sir?

Man that sounds like an epic opportunity but I'll be one plane! Dang it! I would change my flight and everything but Monday morning at 6 I have a flight back to Colombia that I can't change. What a lost opportunity.... is it every Sunday? I think I will drive through LA in the summer again and maybe we can project out a little further and make it happen around June?
