December 14 and 15, 2016

Thanks to everyone who was able to attend our practice at the Carman Active Living Centre. It was nice to have the chairs and stands set up and ready to go for our performance the next evening. On Wednesday we ran through our songs a couple of times.

We played two sets on Thursday evening, our non-Christmas tunes between the ALC supper and dessert and our sing-along Christmas songs after desssert. Guests commented that they enjoyed our singing and playing as well as the background information on the songs delivered by Lana, Louise, Lorna and Lynn. Both sets were a hit with the crowd and we received a standing ovation and a request for an encore at the end. So, we played Christmas in Killarney to end the evening.  Thanks to Lana for your dedication in organizing all of our music arrangements and our performance.

Here is the official list of the songs we played:

First set

Wagon Wheel
Cryin' Time
Love Potion #9
Red Wing
Sentimental Journey
Walkin' After Midnight

Second set

White Christmas
Winter Wonderland
Jingle Bells
We Wish You A Merry Christmas
Our official signature set ending song

and our last minute encore song
Christmas in Killarney

Thanks also of course to our hosts for the invitation to the ALC supper. Instead of accepting an offer for free meals for the group (we are quite a large group of close to 20 now) we asked that a donation be made in the name of the Boyne River Ukulele Group. June and I had supper tickets and agreed the supper was delicious.

We will meet again next Wednesday, December, 21at the gallery for anyone who can make it. Some of course have other seasonal commitments, as did some of our members who were sadly unable to make our performance. Hope to see you all again soon!
