May 3, 2017

June, Linda, Judy, Zenith, Louise and Lana welcomed Marg Warkentin to the group.

We really covered a lot of ground-- more than 20 new songs and old favourites,  Zennie did her homework so we played Rox in the Box twice. 

Rock n Roll Beat needs some more practice before we can perform it, but June's tambourine really helped to spruce it up.

We decided that we would ask Heather to send Just Because, Rox in the Box and I's the B'y to Tim Hogue for the Event Page.  There may be a few other Canadian songs that we want to play as well.

Lana did her first solo-- I Like Ukuleles-- people seemed to like it and thought we should learn it-- or were they being kind?

We will perform Saskatoon Moon and Rock n Roll Beat on June 11.

Starting Monday, May 8,  we will meet at the Gallery on Monday nights for the rest of the summer.  There is a group using the downstairs room for several weeks, so we will meet in the upstairs room until the downstairs is free.

Songs that you can practice are Just Because, Rox in the Box, I's the B'y and Sonny's Dream.

We are also trying to prepare Rock n Roll Beat to perform at the June 11th Picnic.  Those of you who have not been here for a while will get the chance to "rock" next week.

We have five players confirmed so far for June 11th-- hope to see you on Monday at the Gallery and hear that you will be attending.  Louise and I went to the Winnipeg Strum n Suds on Sunday and our Picnic is getting lots promotion from Tim Hogue and the rest of the group.  Those of you who know, or know of, Kate Ferris and Fred Casey-- they will be here.  (Fred built Lynn's fabulous uke)

They weren't just being nice Lana, you are a real talent! I will send the songs to Tim to be posted for the event. I will see you all this coming Monday!
