Ah, the magical sounds of the ukulele. What a wonderful little stringed instrument it is, rich with history and oh so versatile. Upon hearing even just one strum of a uke you’re likely to be mentally transported to a beautiful Hawaiian beach, toes in the sand, watching the waves crash in and the sun go down. If you’ve ever wanted to learn to play the ukulele, you’re in luck, as Nicholson’s MusiCafe in Folsom hosts free uke lessons every Saturday from 1 to 2 p.m. The classes are BYOU (bring your own uke) and music stand (optional), but if you don’t have one, they also have a music store next door that sells ukuleles starting at just $42. Make sure you show up early, as every class tends to get packed! Nicholson’s MusiCafe is located at 632 E. Bidwell Street. Learn more about them at Facebook.com/NicholsonsMusiCafe or by calling (916) 984-3020.
