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.

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.

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
