This was our first week meeting on a Monday evening which we plan to do throughout the summer as Wednesday is golf night for some and Sontatrice Singers members don't have Monday practices again until the fall. 

Louise, Lorna, Linda, Lynn, Judy, Barry, Zenith and Heather were in attendance. Welcome back from tax season Lorna! We missed Lana to clarify which songs we are playing on our own and which songs we are sharing with the rest of the players at our picnic and strum on June 11 but we think we got it right. Of course, we missed Lana (one of our regular L members) for more than that reason but she does keep our music arrangements straight for us :)

The group played: Walk away, Silver Wings, Just Because. On the Sunny Side of the Street starting on D7, Saskatoon Moon, Harvest Moon (Heather brought some sheets and will post it on the blog and with the Google drive song files. She meant to bring Manitoba which not everyone has so she will post that as well.), Flowers on the Wall, April showers, Darlin' Corey, Only You, If you Could Read My Mind, Three Little Birds for Barry who we got to sing and play with, and Cotton Fields.

We then practiced our songs for the June 11 strum including  Rox in the Box which we went through a few times, Sonny's Dream, Rock n Rollbeat & i've Got rhythm, I'se the Bye which needs some more work we decided, and our signature set ending song. 

Remember our meet ups will continue to be on Monday evenings from 7 - 9 p.m. upstairs in the gallery for the rest of the summer.

Hope to see you next Monday!
