As unaccustomed as I am to self-promotion, I hope you’ll attend tonight’s all-uke shindig at Café Nine, 250 State St., New Haven. Show begins 9-ish. Besides my bizarre medleys of uke standards and underground rock, there’ll be the somewhat more civilized four-string strumming of Jim & Liz Beloff and Lauren Agnelli. Five bucks cover.

Stay tuned in future days for a new calendar section of upcoming events on this humble scribblers.us page. I’ve gotten requests to do the sort of previews and highlights I used to do a lot of for the New Haven Advocate and elsewhere (and which I still do for theater-type events at this site’s sister blog, New Haven Theater Jerk). Just need a little time to get back up to speed… and to go play ukulele.
