Wednesday January 24, 2018

Lynn, AJ, Lana, Lorna, Cathie, Barry, Judy, Heather, June, Marge, Lori, and Tom met at the Boyne Lodge to play at 6 p.m. We played our pre-arranged set list which included: Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, Black Velvet Band, Wagon Wheel, Clementine (just playing the chorus after the first verse and at the end), Wildflower (Dolly Parton), Red Wing, Rox in the Box, Silver Wings, Angeline the Baker, You Are My Sunshine, 50 Miles of Elbow Room, and I'll Fly Away.

Then we chose some additional songs from our repertoire, including: Sonny's Dream, Cryin' Time, Just Because, The World is not My Home, Rock & Roll Beat/I've Got Rhythm and our signature set ending song. 

The residents were pleased to listen to us and said they are looking forward to our return visit on Wednesday, Feb. 21. 

Carman Collegiate's student club supervised by Heather and Lynn will also be playing at the Lodge the lunch hour of February 14th singing some songs about love such as Can't Help Falling in Love With You, You Are My Sunshine, and I Lava You. Perhaps these are tunes our Wednesday group can learn as well so we can play them with the student group at our strum and  picnic in June.

Since we ended our practice at the Lodge at 7 p.m., we then proceeded to Barry and Terry's place for appetizers and some more strumming including: He'll Have to Go, Farewell to Nova Scotia, Song for a Winter's NIght, Grow Old With You, The Saskatoon Moon, and Three Little Birds. Thanks Barry and Terry for you hospitality and Happy One Year Anniversary to Barry who revealed he has now been playing ukulele for a year - and still loves playing and being a part of our group (as we all do!).
