Ukulele small and forceful/ Brave and peaceful/You can play the ukulele too it is painfully simple/ Play your ukulele badly, play your ukulele loudly.

— “Ukulele Anthem,” Amanda Palmer

The Sequoyah Ukulele Society meets from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on the first and third Monday of every month at Sequoyah Hall at 150 N. Skyline Drive in Fayetteville. Participation is free. Organizer Helen Kwiatkowski says that all levels are welcome, just bring your ukulele and get ready to jam. Music and chords are projected onto a large screen so that everyone can play together.
