Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to our Wednesday strum. Linda, Linda, Louise, Cathie, Deb, Lynn, Judy, Lorna, Sandy, Tom, Lori, Karen, Zenith, June, and Heather met and played on the first floor of the Golden Prairie Arts Council building.

We practiced the following songs for possible inclusion in our upcoming gig, Wagon Wheel, Cryin' Time, Love Potion #9, Red Wing, Sentimental Journey, Bring Me Little Water Sylvie, Walkin' After midnight, Uncloudy Day, Mele Kalikimaka, White Christmas, Winter Wonderland, Christmas in Killarney, Silent Night, We Wish You a Merry Christmas (Lana is going to adjust her arrangement to reflect the order of how we decide to play it), and our signature closing song. 

The plan is to also play Jingle Bells, likely just before Christmas in Killarney. Lana is going to create an arrangement for us in C.

We decided to practice Sentimental Journey at home for next time.

After going through our practice songs, we chose the following songs to play: Walk away, Farewell to Nova Scotia, House of the rising Sun, King of the Road, Hotel California, and Blowin' in the Wind, all from the Vancouver Ukulele Circle book, and another take of our signature ending song. 

Thanks for all the ukulele playing fun and the great singing.

We will meet again next Wednesday, this time on the second floor as the first floor meeting room has a booking.
