UPDATE: See bottom of the post for the full winners list! 

Aloha, Patrons!

Thank you to all the Patrons who submitted videos for our Open Mic + Giveaway!  I have been watching your videos and am so delighted to see your interpretations of these arrangements, as well as your personal growth in playing, singing, sharing your personality through your video, and even your video presentation.  Bravo, all!  Watch your fellow Patrons on the 2020 Open Mic playlist and leave some encouraging comments. :)  

Remember that it takes practice to get better, and I hope this Open Mic opportunity gave you a chance to push yourself outside your comfort zone a little bit.  How did you feel about posting for this yearʻs Open Mic?  If you participated in the past, was this time different?

Tune in for the LIVE Giveaway Drawing

Please join me this Friday 1/31 at 3pm Pacific Time  - if you click on the video, you’ll see a countdown for your timezone.  I hope to see you online, or you can watch the recording later.  All active Patrons who submitted videos are eligible to win.  We'll kick it off by jamming a song or two while we wait for folks to gather, and then I will draw the winners of our prizes LIVE!

I felt more challenged (last year I only played happy birthday) but the comments I received made me more confident to film my progress more. I made a couple of new friends too :-). It’s such a great idea to have this non judgemental encouraging open mic opportunity. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE. We all won by participating 🤟

Ken (UKEn) Freestone

Very excited. I will actually step out of the local Home Show to listen in.

Lori Neff

I really enjoyed participating. It was this same challenge last year that inspired me to shyly submit my first video and create an Instagram account. Then you inspired me further to do the 100 day challenge and it has been such a joy in my life. Thank you. So to revisit that this year was so meaningful. I’m still shy, but so happy to share this with so many amazing people. Cheering you all on!!!

Dorain Jacobs

My favorite part of these challenges/giveaways is watching everyone's submissions. I wish there could be more throughout the year. Wishing everyone good luck today!

For me it was the first time posting, and first time recording myself playing. OMG. I don’t like what I posted but I’m so proud I participated. It really got me out of my comfort zone. I printed the Nike logo on my wall (Just do it).. because the thinking gets in the way. This was fun and very nice. Thank you Cynthia Lin and good luck to all.

Binh Alley (Lily)

Omg thanks so much. I’m so sorry I lost connection

Hi Cynthia is there I way I could purchase the flash drive card that has your discography on it?

Bonnie Schroth

Hi, we are trying to plan our trip to Bay Area for SF Uke Fest 2020, is there a hotel associated with this event (like in the past) or not? I see events are in Berkeley.
