Wedneday, February 7, 2018

Lynn, AJ, Louise, Lorna, Marge, Lori, Tom, Lana, Barry, Heather and Cathie attended.

We played: January wedding, Down on the Corner, Log Driver's Waltz in G (Lori will modify a few chords) then C, and Wagon Whee. We were going to play Michael Row your Boat (Verna's arrangement which is on the blog) but most people still need to print it out for next week.  We would like to play it at the Lodge in two weeks. 

We then played Harvest Moon and Passing Through. We decided we would like to play Come On Up to the House at future strums. It too can be found on the blog and printed. 

We followed up with Don't be Cruel, Farewell to Nova Scotia (from the Vancouver book but also on the blog), Bad Moon Rising in G (most have transposed the chords in the Vancouver book), Jambalya (from the songs Kate Ferris gave us - Lana is this on the drive?), Rain and Snow, Unclouded Day, Jolene, Song for a Winter's night, Silver Wings, April Showers (from the drive which people will need to print as it is in an easier key to sing than the Vancouver book version),  Down in the Valley transposed to C with G7, and Cryin' Time. 

We wanted to play Peaceful Easy Feeling but that was another song members may want to print as most didn't have the chord sheet. We instead played Grow Old With You (playing Gs and not the G7s before the final ending part), Working Man, A Horse with No Name (Lana will prepare a version for the blog as this was from the Silver Creek International Ukulele Carnival), Walk Away, Fifty Miles of Elbow Room and our signature set ending song. 

Lana reminded members about the Prairie Jamboree in September. 

We will practice upstairs at the gallery next Wedneday, February 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. and at the Lodge (starting at 6 p.m.) the following Wednesday on February 21.

Here is the set list for February 21st. Please also bring your binders as we will play other songs as well.
