Ah the sweet sounds and smells of summer!

Moore Park Art Festival on Aug 14 certainly was a highlight!  Singing in the sunshine on

the Gazebo, kicking off the Festival  with sing alongs and songs for kids of all ages.

I also had a blast at the annual Norway Arts Fests performing w/ Lucindagail last month.

What's a little rain?  We ended up hootin it up at Cafe Nomad with a full house :)

Munjfest in Portland, ME. was next and my first time there was so much fun!  See new pics

on my Photo Pg.

Your Friend in Music, Mary C.

Now that I've written and documented my new songs for copyright,

guess I better LEARN  them.  Ha Ha!  My goal is to have some New CD

tracks out by New Year's.   And the wheels are turning!

As I look upon the traffic visiting my site and I see the visits from different countries, from non profit & educational orgnizations, networks, and ukulelia.com, I feel so connected to all of you, and I thank you for visiting.  This keeps me going. To know that there are people out there who benefit from the music from my heart, inspires me to keep writing and spreading new songs.

Though my nickname "Mary Ukelady" will always headline my Kids Shows, I'm introducing my real name "Mary Christine", a name I've always loved.  'Born on News Years Eve, it was chosen to fit the holiday season.

Aloha, Mary Christine

Concert proceeds went to "Beth's House Committee" a group of local advocates raising money to build a house for 24 year old Beth Coffin of West Paris, who struggles with Spinal Muscular Atrophy and whose parents suffer from chronic Lyme Disease. Their home has become unsafe and the community is pulling together to raise money for this cause. If you would like to help, please email me at ukeladymusic@yahoo.com
