It was great to finally make it to strum club again this past Wednesday after the holiday break.
We played a lot of fun songs including:
Wildflowers by Dolly Parton
Come On Up to the House by Tom Waits
Please Don't Bury Me by John Prine
Four Strong Winds by Ian and Sylvia Tyson
Take One Last Look by Tom Waits
Rain and Snow by the Be Good Tanyas
and we attempted The Log Driver's Waltz (we didn't have a good copy of the chords) but this version on the Bytown Ukulele Group website is good - The Log Driver's Waltz .
For next week we hope to try any of the songs we have practiced up to date including The Log Driver's Waltz (song sheet link above), Crazy (we agreed to practice the new chords at home) and Shady Grove for which we received the tabs this week.
Thanks to everyone who brought along new songs to try and to Lana for your great arrangements. If you email me your song sheets I can post them on the site for anyone who couldn't make it to our meetup.
I found the song sheet for La Vie En Rose. Below you will find a link to the PDF (you will note I simplified it a bit when I played it) and the video Lynn mentioned. I also posted the video for my somewhat sketchy rendition of Take One Last Look below. I will bring copies of the song sheets along next week. I tried to figure out the chords from watching Tom Waits version which you can view here.
La vie en rose (ukulele cover, chords in description and here.)
Take One Last Look (Ukulele Cover, strum picking version, my attempt at the chords here.)
Hope to see you all next Wednesday, January 20 at 7 p.m. on the second floor of the Golden Prairie Arts Council building. I will also be emailing you some songs Lana sent me. If you have songs to add, word files or PDF files converted to jpegs can be emailed to me.
