The Montlake Library played host to the always engaging Mother Pluckers Ukulele Band on Sunday afternoon, July 5. Lucky early arrivers got the chairs, but others stood through the one-hour program of favorites, sing-alongs, clever new takes on oldies, and a totally toe-tapping time. Blythe Summers, Supervising Librarian of the Montlake Branch, and Nathalie Gehrke from the Montlake Community Club welcomed the crowd as the program began. Then the Mother Pluckers took over, charming the audience with their ukulele strumming, aided by a miniature banjo, and, at times, a flute, a tiny “kazoo horn,” and lots of rhythm instruments in the hands of willing audience members. Babies smiles, little kids wiggled, adults did the hokey pokey, and a classical good time was had by all. Will the Montlake Library ever be the same now that music has arrived?!
