August 21, 2017

We had a bit bigger crowd this Monday evening as members came back from holidays and a couple of special guests joined us. Regular members Louise, Cathie, Judy, Heather, Lynn, Ian and Linda attended. Jack McKinnon joined the McKinnon family, attending to listen and sing along, and Kelly, Linda and Jack's grandson and Ian's nephew, joined us in playing and singing. He is a musically talented 13 year old and we look forward to him joining us again perhaps during winter break. 

Songs we played included: The Gambler, Sonny's Dream, Rain and Snow, Take One Last Look, Moonshadow (remember to check out the Cynthia Lin tutorial video and chord sheet that was sent and posted previously), Stand by Me (from the Vancouver book, second version), The Saskatoon Moon, January Wedding, Should I Stay or Should I Go (from the Vancouver book), Down On the Corner, Wagon Wheel, Tonight You Belong to Me, Hallelujah, Love Potion #9, Rox in the Box, Angeline the Baker, Cryin' Time, Redwing, Farewell to Nova Scotia, Under the Boardwalk and our signature set ending song. 

We decided the group would start meeting again on Wednesday evenings instead of Mondays starting the first Wednesday after Labour Day.

We hope to perform to raise some money for the gallery and the Active Living Centre and will also be investigating playing at the Farmer's Market, the Boyne Lodge and perhaps a couple of other locations in September. 

Hope to see you all at the train station next Monday, August 28.
