Who is ukulele mike

Your Blackbird is one of my favorites, and I do hope lots of birds are singing with you up there now. Kind thoughts to your family.

Hope you stay with us to help our happy strumming for quite a long time. So sorry for your loss and thank you for keeping his legacy of amazing ukuele teaching available for everyone. A great instrument and a great guy!

Thanks Mike and I am sure you are still going at it in Paradise! Many thanks for your comments Joe! My first music teacher.

Mike got me into music by playing the ukulele back in when I was 15 years old. It saddens me to find out that this sweet man has passed away. I will be forever grateful. Only came across Mike recently. I instantly loved his personality, though on screen he came across as a warm and concerned human being. Sincerest condolences to family and friends.

Denis in Dublin. Yesterday at a community ukulele event, we were referring beginners to check out his youtube tutorials and today — just now — I found out that he has passed away. I was shocked and very saddened to hear this. He will be missed by many including those of us who never met him but knew him through our shared love of ukulele and his many helpful tutorials!

RIP Mike — and thank you for everything! I am so moved by this. He turned me on onto the Beatles and many good old songs. His tutorials and charisma helped me in my beginning stages of playing my uke. He made me fall in love with music, not to perform, but for fun and self expression. His demeanor on his videos showed a man of great composure and stature. I will remember him always. May he play his uke to the Great Spirit for eternity grazing infinity with his smile.

I will always remember the tab he made for Pink Panther. It was so influential to my early years of learning the uke. Thanks a bunch, Mike. I am 74 years old and living in a retirement community.

I am going to give a presentation on the ukulele. I am going to talk about Mike Lynch and his u-tube lessons. He inspired me to buy a uke about 10 years ago. I told my husband that I wanted to learn how to play an instrument before I die. Condolences to the family. How can I buy his tablatures? What is the email address to write to? I have tried payment ukulelemikelynch. Thank you very much. Mike was the first ukulele teacher I found online.

More importantly, however, he showed me early on how the ukulele brings together folks from all walks of life to share in the simple joy of making music together. Mike legacy lives on through the fingers and strings, plucks and chucks of the many of us he helped along our journey of musical creation.

I enjoyed his You Tube videos and continue to watch them to try and improve me playing the ukulele. May he rest in peace. His lessons and tutorials have encouraged me to continue to play the ukulele and work on different pieces.

He made learning so much easier. Mike was my on line inspiration to take up the ukulele after many years of playing drums. I have only just found out about his passing and I am deeply saddened by it. I feel like I have lost a close friend even though we only met via U Tube. My heart goes out to his surviving family. Thank you Mike. Mike left us a wonderful legacy of his wonderful teaching skills, happy personality, and the joy of music. Heaven will be a happy place for him to bring joy to others.

Thank you, Mike, for giving of yourself to those who enjoy playing the Ukulele. Hi Lee, I just started the Ukulele and was sad to learn about Mike. RIP Mike. Such a talented man. I never met Mike, but feel like I have lost a friend. What a gentle and generous soul! I have watched his instructional videos — even performed one of his arrangements! So glad his work lives on! Ukulele Mike was the first person who I showed me how to play the ukulele. His YouTube videos were so easy to understand.

I knew he was awesome when he personally replied to one of my emails asking about a song. It was such a warm, friendly, encouraging reply. Rest in peace. From Gema in New Zealand. My condolences to his family and friends.

I found his YouTube videos when I started playing ukulele — and loved him for taking the time to teach so many of us how to play some of our favorite songs! This is sad news. May his music and loving teaching style on Youtube and Vimeo continue to touch and inspire us. May each of us touch a tenth of the lives our wonderful Mike did.

He will greatly be missed. Loved this happy gentleman. Thanks for letting me know. I am so sorry to hear this as Mike was such an inspiration to so many of us!

Sad to hear of his passing. I really enjoy playing from his music books and have learned a lot from his tiutorials. He made playing solo chord arrangements fun. RIP Ukulele Mike. Please accept my sincerest condolences to a great musician and Ukelele player My thoughts are with you and your family. So sad to hear that Ukulele Mike has died. My thoughts are with his family. Ukulele Mike Lynch will always be remembered. My heart is saddened by his passing but I know there is a place in Heaven where our Ukulele Mike is still teaching the love of the ukulele.

Delores Radford. So sad, what a Legend. Millions around the globe learned so much from Mike, he surely can Rest In Peace knowing he made such a Happy Difference to so many lives.

Really sad. Love to all the family. I am deeply saddened by the news and wish to convey my condolences to his family. He was my sole inspiration for everything Ukulele. I shall remember him with great fondness. I am deeply saddened by the untimely passing of Ukulele Mike. Although I have never met him face-to-face, you felt like a personal friend due to his caring personality.

Blessings to you and your loved ones…good health and much joy in abundance! My gift to you is really from both Mike and me…one of his labors of love. We in the U. Our gatherings look different this year, as there are many empty places at our tables.

Perhaps if we picture our loved ones sitting with us, eating, laughing, exchanging stories, praying and singing with us, they will seem a little closer. I imagine some of us might say we are saving their places for next year…and that brings a smile as I write this.

Growing up, our family seemed normal size, as we were one of a multitude in our neighborhood with large families…even though there were 10 siblings and 4 foster sisters, there was always room for others at our table. It was wonderful! And yes, we still brought guests! When I reflect on the last 8 months, I realize that the pandemic has changed us in unexpected ways.

Although we have been discouraged, angry, resentful, afraid…we have also been resilient, hopeful, determined, gracious, thoughtful and very, very creative! And when I have taken my eyes off the ground, looked up and kept my eyes open, I have seen amazing things!

Some are so small, you have to look carefully to notice them…a smile behind a mask, an offer to help carry a bag, neighbors waving from their cars as they pass us walking. And there are some acts of kindness that can never be repaid. I appreciate you! It is a great one to start delving into chord melody because it keeps to the first 3 frets.

And so as we gather together today, aching for the smiles, hugs, jokes, stories and great food we normally share with our loved ones, I am remembering why we are separate. It is an act of love. And love wins in the end! PS: I invite you to share with us one thing for which you are grateful! On August 22, , Mike and I each married our best friend. This year marks our 50th wedding anniversary.

I have 9 younger siblings, so this was essential! In that moment, a lifetime together truly began. You might find this funny, quaint, even odd…but for us, music was our language and if you knew Mike, you knew him to be corny puns were his specialty and sentimental. And I was right in there with him! Yup, it took 6 of them to marry us! In his words to us that day, Fr. Pat Carroll, S.

Forty years…yet I remember it vividly! We stood outside in the street that Sunday, watching the plume mushroom as if an atomic bomb had exploded, in awe at the sheer magnitude nature wrought! Mike was obsessed with the impending eruption, from the first alerts from geologists, and keenly followed every story, especially of Harry Truman.

Harry was keeper of the Mt. Mike worked feverishly on the song all night and sang it for us the very next morning. It was typical of his compositional MO if he was impassioned with an idea for a song. You Ukulele Mike Lynch followers were the beneficiaries of his passion for arranging.

It was the same for anything he composed, whether for the ukulele, Native American flute, violin or his many liturgical compositions for congregational singing. He rolled it out to his classes that week and his students sang it for the closing concert just a few weeks later.

It became a favorite; students looked forward to bringing it out every spring…and many, returning to visit, reminisced with their old music teacher about Harry and his mountain.
