Wednesday March 9, 2016 

Thank you for an enjoyable evening once again.

In addition to playing some of our regular pieces  such as Unclouded Day we paid some extra attention to Wagon Wheel a song we are considering playing for the Tempo Festival. Our potential performance time and date will be the evening of Tuesday, April 12 at the United Church unless renovations aren't complete and then it will be at the Anglican Church. I will try and confirm the date and time by next week.

We tried some pieces from the Vancouver Ukulele Circle songbooks (the books the Ukulele Club of Winnipeg also use for their twice monthly strums) including Sea of Love and Octopus's Garden.

Thank you to Louise who hosted Lynn, Lorna and myself last Friday evening in a kitchen ukulele sing along. It was a lot of fun.

The next meetup will be Wednesday,March 16, upstairs in the Golden Prairie Arts Council building.

- H, not one of the L's or the K who attend our meetups :)

Wednesday, February 24 and Wednesday March 2, 2016 

Sadly, I didn't make it to the Feb. 24th or March 2 strums.

Hopefully those who were able to attend the Winnipeg strum updated those who weren't able to attend.

It was a lot of fun and the most ukulele players I had seen "live" in one room before, about 50 of them I believe.

You can follow the Ukulele Club of Winnipeg on Facebook or sign up for their newsletter though their website.

The next strum at the Kingshead on King Street is Sunday, Nov 6. It runs from 2 to 4:30 pm.

Lana has been converting some of the songs for our book while Lorna I believe is making the copies.

As requested, I sent Lana a few changes I made to Come Dancing to make it easier to play and more like the original.

The only other change I had was for I'm Yours, making the second instrumental part the same as the first by taking out the extra G, D and D7 chords.

Please let me know if there are any new songs or news you want me to post on the site from the last two sessions

Also, please let me know if anyone else would like a book from the King Street group. They are from a Vancouver club and quite good I thought. Maybe you saw a copy at the last strum. The cost is $15. Scott Sauders from the group works for Subway and could have them sent to the Subway in Carman.

The next meetup will be Wednesday,March 9, upstairs in the Golden Prairie Arts Council building. I look forward to attending again to show you a little something that arrived in the mail this week.

Here is a preview...
