Jones Library is offering a Ukulele Strum Along every Sunday in April at 3 pm. Led by our wonderful Julie Stepanek using the Zoom platform, grab your ukulele - or any other instrument - and join us for a jam session. Get your instrument (it doesn't have to be a ukulele) and join Julie for 40 minutes of singing and playing. Lyrics and ukulele chords provided.
