The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain came to town.  Funstrummers had a welcoming gig in the lobby of the Gallo Center for the Arts prior to the show.  The UofGB have been playing together for 33 years.  They put on a peppy notefull show with lots of variety, talent and brilliant artistry.  You can see some of their magic on youtube.  The preshow in the lobby wasn't too shabby either. 

It's Chicago 1941 and the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy with the Andrew Sisters.
